We all have traumas. Big T and little t. I’ve turned my T’s... my pain, into purpose. I was a broken, shattered mess from rape, emotional abuses, domestic violence, addiction, homelessness... But I decided that’s not gonna be who I am. It’s part of my story, but it’s not the whole story. I no longer allow myself to be a shattered, broken mirror because of the things that have happened to me in my life. I decided to put myself broken self back together and I made a fucking disco ball of my life. It’s up to you what you do with what’s happened to you. We cannot change the experiences that happened to us. But, we can grow through them. And become anything we fucking wanna be! Victim mentality keeps us stuck. I was stuck for 25 years in victim mentality, addiction, self hatred, and loneliness. I was angry, rude, vile, mean, petty, and a royal fucking bitch. I felt the world owed me because I had been through some shit. I was raped, beaten and left for dead on the side of a road, multiple suicide attempts, overdosed, held at gun point & robbed, homeless..... and I acted like a fucking victim for 2 decades of my life. WRONG. I AM NOT OWED ANYTHING FROM ANYONE. I OWE MYSELF HEALING. PEACE. GROWTH. EVOLUTION. When you realize you’re not a victim, you can start healing. I am the HERO of my own story. No one came to rescue me...except me. I’m healing my BS and you can too. You deserve to. #theplatinumgiraffe #traumahealing #loveyourself #discoball #shattered #shatteredglass #healing #healingjourney #motivationalspeaker
