@sadeb101 appreciate your encouraging words of validation 😉 I’m happy I could be encouraging to you as well and you resonated with my poem. Yes, it does improve day by day some days are more difficult but it doesn’t have to control us, we do got this in the bag! 😉

@dannicatwhiskers

I’m so happy I could write something that lifted our voices together and reminds us how strong we are on the inside. I like that you recognize how powerful writing can be for our therapy and healing. You definitely get me thinking how trauma is like elastic it sticks and it stretches throughout our lifetime but we don’t have to be defined by our trauma. I love your enthusiasm and transparency. I actually posted that picture of my current relationship partner who’s been there for me thick and thin. He’s the reason why I can talk about my trauma and has helped me not self-destruct. Thank you for lighting up my day with your kind response! 😉

@theunsealed Thank you for putting my poem on the board it really means a lot to me. And also for seeing and hearing me through this poem. Shame is a ferocious beast that we all can learn to tame. I see you and hear you as well Lauren. We are mighty warriors that get to tell our stories through our voices. I am grateful to this platform and we don’t have to shy away from our struggles, it’s what makes us stronger in the end. 😉
