A journey of sunshine
Message to a Survivor
It starts by you taking the first steps in wanting to change how you think and how you perceived the world after one or more damaged you. All you can do is take it one day at a time at your pace. Not to say it will ever go away but when you review or reflect back on life, you will have your moments where you’re like “I went through that and I’m still standing and conquered and still have my voice.”
Message of Healing
Healing to me is not thinking about the negatives things that has happened to you in your life. Start by forgiving not only the ones that have done you wrong but also forgive yourself. It’s easier said it done but when you do, those dark rainy clouds will leave and a ray of sunshine will start beaming on you ready to let you know this time to start to explore something different, something new, and something exciting.
Even though, I believe that I’m surrounded by nothing but darkness, there is still light beaming in the mist of all the trials and tribulations. It shows that I’m special and that I mean a lot to the world and that I’m a light in somebody else’s eyes in spite of what I may think and that there’s hope for new beginnings.
Original story
I Say No More because there are too many of us living and struggle with our everyday lives because we are ashamed about what another person has done to us. Me for an example; my abuse was on and off throughout my childhood. The longest lasted 4 years. By me staying silent for so long, to I have PTSD, Emotional Disorder and Depression. I had to learn how to gain control of my life that I didn't know for the longest that I could. I'm taking it one step at a time. See those people may have took away my childhood but they couldn't take away my LOVE, JOY and now my PEACE away.
