Your childhood nightmares can end

[When I was a child, my father used to tell me that if people knew who I really was, they wouldn’t like me.]

The truth is that I was violently bullied by parents, students, teachers, and the community.

I never felt safe, anywhere, least of all my body.

And yet, I always found ways to speak the truth.

To stand up for others and do what I felt was right.

I did this however from a place of deep despair, fear, and a sense of profound loneliness. 

I left high school with a few friends and carried with me this notion long into adulthood that if people knew who I truly was, they’d hate me.

Hadn’t that been my reality, thus far? If I showed up authentically, I’d be bullied. It was better to hide.

But gleaning off yesterday’s post, I wasn’t really being myself because I was never truly at peace. And I don’t think one can know Self, or a higher purpose, without a baseline comfort in their body and psyche.

So I spent years getting back into my body and getting comfortable with my Self. If I’m really honest, I didn’t even know I was outside of my body until I was 28. 

I’ll never forget the girl who walked 1 million miles to get here. 

It’s because of her that I know I’m strong.

How is this relevant to you?

No matter where you’re at you have a right to honor your best interests. Learn what they are. Get better at asking for what you require, first from yourself. And get rid of all bullshit in your life especially in the form of people and self-defeating behavior. 

This will radically change your life. It will also test your belief that better is possible.

I’m here to tell you it is.

Every single day, on some level, I’m scared that the past will be true again. And every single day, who I choose to be and the life I get to live is better than anything I could’ve imagined as a 15-year-old kid.

You have a right to thrive.
