Life doesn’t have to be so hard.
Take back the power that was yours all along.
You try to move on, you try to forget, but the thoughts, dreams, and memories still haunt you. You may try to rationalize it away by telling yourself it was a long time ago, that you should be over it by now, that there’s no way something from so long ago could still impact you—but try as you might, it does.
Trauma at any age can feel like a bomb was just dropped on your life and your worth as a person. It can impact you differently at different ages, but overall it is a destructive force that can lead you to wonder if you will ever be the same. I’m here to tell you that you won’t be the same—you will be better than before.
