What happened to you doesn't define you.
Take a step back,
Breathe,
Reflect with me.
What happened to you?
Take a moment to acknowledge what it was.
Breathe through it as you remember.
Focus on your breath.
It's hard to intentionally acknowledge what happened but speak it out loud,
Vocalize it,
Take a moment.
Come back to me.
Listen to my voice.
Hear me when I say this happened for you,
Not to you.
I know it doesn't seem that way in the moment but know that you are not defined by what happened to you.
It happened for you to hit rock bottom and be completely broken open.
From here,
You can only go up but you have to fight.
You can heal,
You can grow,
You can thrive,
Not just survive.
But you have to acknowledge everything sent to break you.
Forgive for yourself,
Not for anyone else.
You deserve it.
Release it,
Never forget,
But don't allow it to steal your energy,
Your life,
Your joy.
Take your power back.
You can take your power back.
