Compassion and empathy - self-parenting

I was raped and sexually assaulted several times. Verbally and physically bullied.  

I've said it. And I spoke, I talked about it, the power of the words and of love.  I was heard, I love myself, I am loved as I am. So beautiful to be able to live and feel that.

I forgive myself and the people who did that, the trauma is still there, I learn to live again, to go forward and be stronger and stronger because this definitely made me stronger and more willing to go forward, I trust myself and I trust people again and I know I am strong, I am lucky to be helped and to be here for me, to care and take care of myself.

Love, trust, compassion. Freedom.
