#LTB: August 19, 2019

It been four months since I got my freedom. It’s been a rough four months. But it’s been so full of growth and reflection. I learned that when you are living in the abuse it doesn’t always seem as harmful. You do all you can to convince your abuser to love you, because if they really love you they wouldn’t hurt you. But you are hurting yourself in the process. I was made to feel ashamed of my body every day. So I rebelled, it wasn’t enough. I still get triggered often. It’s so hard. Harder than many know, but there will come a time when freedom calls. Run to it with arms open! The healing you receive is waiting for you and it will not always look the same.
