So this morning before my house wakes up, I am taking a moment to sit with the feelings that aren’t easy. Admitting to myself, I kinda hate this day as a daughter.

Last year was my “later” and now I understand…
You don’t have to live in perpetual darkness.
You don’t have to fear and question the love of others.
There is goodness.
You are worth it.
You can be what you didn’t have.
Redemption & Restoration can be your story too!

It’s strange sometimes viewing the world for so many years with trauma colored glasses. I expect people to leave me, I expect people to not want me in any capacity for any length of time. Deep down for many years I had a deep seeded hate for myself. None of which was warranted, but you see that’s what trauma does. It invaded its host like a virus and destroys anything good inside.
