“Until I found the tools to learn how to parent myself, until I found the way to respect myself, protect myself and love myself.
“I am responsible for taking care of the child within me and I am responsible for every other child whose healing I can somehow facilitate.
“Every child matters. Every single child is incredibly significant. Including the child within us, the adults.
“Healing is possible, the light at the end of the tunnel is real. It’s ok to feel the fear and move towards it.”
“At our own pace. It’s ok to feel sad and own our fears. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed. It’s ok to just stop and breathe. Because that’s the most important thing I do anyway.”
It’s taken a long time getting here, but Alhamdolillah I am truly blessed, & can say with my head high, I am a survivor, who learned how to become a blessed thriver. I walked through agonising pain, zero self esteem, constantly out sourcing my happiness, & hiding from situations… pic.twitter.com/aIipNe03qN
