It took me a long time to tell my story. I feel like I’m still telling it, in fact. And along the way, as I shared bits and pieces, I was met with a mix of mostly wonderful responses and a few idiotic responses. I keep telling my story regardless of the idiots because I hear from people who tell me how similiar their story is. They tell me that they’ve dealt with pain, and most of the time they are still dealing with it.
I tell my story because there are so many people with similiar stories, and when those folks try and share in order to heal they get judged or mocked. I want to be a safe place for those to come and share. I want to be an encourager to those who need a bit of light.
This Instagram Roundup reminds me that we are not broken. We might feel like we can’t push on, but I am here to tell you that you are beautiful and whole just as you are, right now, this day. Keep working on your life so you can embrace happiness more easily. Do not ever give up.
