I have journaled about hope so many times. I know peace exists, because I’ve felt it. There are bits of my life that have had peace. And that’s what’s keeping me going really. I have the biggest hope and knowing that I can live a life with peace and love at ALL times

Healing is accepting all emotions that come along, face them, dont put them away, this will destroy you from the inside and the beautiful soul you are!
Report
To anyone, who find themselves in the waves of ambiguouity. Not knowing what to call what happened to them and feel like a fraud for admitting it. You are seen. You are not crazy. Your story is your own.

Not keeping quiet about the abuse I endured helps me heal. It's comforting to me to remember the idiom, "If people want you to write better about them, they should have behaved better". The people abused me deserve to hear every scathing word from me about what they did to me.

I was 42 when I was able to safely escape from my abusive husband. It's never too late to begin again. You're not too old. Freedom from violence is a basic human right. I hope my story will show victims and survivors of every generation that the abuse was never their fault.

Healing is simply acceptance and not giving her the power to affect my life.

Putting my trust and faith in God has ultimately saved me and helped me get through these abuses.

Healing was the best I could have done. It meant everything to me, it made me a better version of myself, It made me realize that I can live without this toxic person. It thought me to love myself and appreciate me.

Writing is therapy for me. Sharing my experience with domestic violence has been liberating essential to my recovery. I wrote a book to warn victims about my experiences with domestic violence and the mental health ‘side effects’. As a budding advocate, my goal is to reach as many victims and survivors as possible; and to piss off misogynists...one book at a time.

Healing to me is self love and faith. You can’t pour from an empty cup so I think it’s important that we take Care of our body, mind and soul.
