Today marks the day I commit to writing and sharing with you the life lessons I live through daily as a S.A.S (Sexual Abuse Survivor). The journey is not meant to be easy and it hasn’t been but everyday is worth living.
I want the same for YOU as well. I pray the same for YOU.
I know the issue YOU have with believing you are worthy enough for the guy or girl of your dreams.
I know the issue YOU have with feeling lonely in a house full of people who say they care and love you.
I know the issue YOU have as you suffer from depression because you feel like know one understands the internal fight between your mind and the devil daily.
I know the issue YOU have with living for validation so you over compensating to make someone else happy. Hoping maybe they will return the favor.
I know the issue YOU have with boundaries. Say YES when your heart is telling you to say NO.
I know the issue YOU have with accepting love from others since you really are not sure if you love yourself.
I know the issue YOU have with self-control when it comes to food and sex.
I know the issue YOU have with self-sabotage when it comes to experiencing a good healthy relationship since you believe they will probably leave anyway.
I know the issue YOU have with creating your own happiness without attaching it to the next person, place or thing.
I know the issue YOU have with keeping your personal space safe.
I know the issue YOU have with forgiveness since you haven’t even forgiven yourself.
Believe me….I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW
What I also know is you are stronger then your current situation right now.
You are going to continue to get stronger every single day
I will walk alongside of you if you let me.
Today is the first day of the rest of OUR life.

Thanks for sharing Lakell. So many need to hear this and can understand every word you said. I’ll just say from a personal standpoint being able to acknowledge the pain and forgive has been liberating. As Dana mentioned, this peace will hopefully inspire others to begin the healing process.
