Kindle Notes & Highlights
you do not even know how much the story you are scared to tell could help someone else out of their own isolated hell. repeat after me; i am worthy of being here today exactly as i want to be. i do not need to change or mold myself just to make other people comfortable with me.
i am healing here. between the silence and the breeze. tending to wounds i have been afraid to see. healing for no one but me.
if nothing is forever, why does this pain never leave? why can i not move past something that is long gone? why can i not find relief?
i want to come out of this as someone that i do not recognize. finally taking off this disguise. because i am no longer afraid of being my true self for not only me but everyone else.

the healing you are doing may seem so small, but the process of healing is just starting at all. i am proud you made it here. do not worry if you have setbacks. that is the beautful thing, this is not your last chance.
