The Good Stuff

Blood may connect us biologically, but it doesn’t give anyone the right to hurt me, erase me, or hold my childhood over my head forever.

Most of all, it taught me that I don’t need to prove my worth by how much pain I can tolerate. I am not the same person I was at the beginning of this year.

A journey of self-reflection and self-discovery. A journey I didn't even know I needed until I could feel myself exploding from the inside. A journey that is painful and emotional and confusing. A journey that I hope will lead me directly where I need to be in a better, healthier, stronger and more healed place. A journey where I will always know what I deserve.
