Dear Friend,
You
are brave to face your emotional pain and the path that has lead you to this moment
in your life. You are no longer a victim, you are a survivor. A survivor who is
healing day by day. On a healing journey there will be hard days. During those
hard days I hope that this letter brings you hope, comfort, and encouragement
to stay strong and pull through. I
know there are days when you don't feel like a survivor. Days when the memories
and triggers from past abuse comes crashing in, and it feels too hard to take
even one more breath - but you take that breath anyway. You are strong. You are
a brave warrior.
I want you to know that the pain that you have had to bare was not your fault. It doesn’t matter how old you were the shame does not belong to you, it was placed upon you and you never deserved any of it. In your life you have had to face many burdens, and they can leave you lonely, isolated and afraid. Through that fear remember you truly aren’t alone. You have many survivors who would and do stand up for you. You are important in your life, and there is much beauty to see, and you are beautiful inside and out. You have seen the darkness but there is light, always seek it out, and never give up. Every time you can hear the past voices telling you that you are crazy, worthless and just an object. Hear me telling you that those were only lies they told you. You are worth much, for inside you is greatness. I know that there are times you find yourself believing those lies even repeating them to yourself. I encourage you to challenge this and look at your reflection in the mirror; See yourself, and tell yourself that you are important, beautiful, and purely amazing for all that you are; You are special and unique and that is empowering because you are the only you, there is no one like you, and you are precious. In this world you deserve to be loved and treated with dignity and respect. You have a right to have your voice heard, as you have many things to say. The truth is.....you deserve peace, grace, and joy in your life. Believe in yourself you will make it through, for you are a star and you get to choose how you will shine and where to spread your brightness. Your future does not have to be dictated by your past. Your life has purpose and hope. Healing is never easy and I know you have felt held down but now you are free to fly. You are a courageous woman/man who I know will do incredible things as you are right now just by being you. There will be times where the tears fall and you feel exhausted, be gentle with yourself for healing is hard work and you need rest and remember to be kind to your spirit and don’t rush your process. Everyone’s journey is unique, and your journey is your own. You are doing your work and I am so proud of you. You are doing a great job even on days it doesn’t feel like it. Each step you take is a precious. You are loved, You are special, and You are Strong, You are a survivor.
