healing for no one but me

by Jennae Cecelia

i am not the same person i was last year or the year before. and while that might seem scary because people stop recognizing me for who i once was. i remember that who i am changing into now is someone i always dreamed of.

some people can not handle the positive growth you are making. because it requires them to leave a comfort zone they have had with you for so long. it requires them realizing that you are no longer who you used to be and they do not really have anything in common with you now except past memories.

not everyone is going to be able to see your vision. we do not all see the world through eyes with the same prescription. it is ok to be the only one rooting for your decision.

healing for me is going away to places people can not find me. somewhere i can escape. healing for me does not involve a team it is my own to face. because healing is an individual race. you can run, walk, stop, or jog whenever you want along the way. but go at your pace and do not worry if you stray.

i finally realized that with you everything was a fight.
