After the Rain: Gentle Reminders for Healing, Courage, and Self-Love

by Alexandra Elle

One day, something just clicked. I wanted to take control of my life and stop feeling like a victim.

I hate not knowing what is wrong with me. I felt alone and worried and ashamed for feeling both of those things.

I’ve grown to appreciate what and who I have, and in what capacity, but I still often feel a sense of loss.

I was hurting, and a part of me wanted him to know the feeling of devastation that I was wrestling with.
