There are many who were the ones in a family or environment that somehow knew what they were being exposed to, was not what they wanted for themselves. So, they found ways to move about and make different choices. They observe what the perception of happy, peace, security, family is and they make sacrificial decisions to build that in their lives.

I think there is a level of innocense in survival. There is a layer of not knowing how brave it is to seek out a different life because your old life did not give you room to breathe. This is often a solo act when they seek ways of believing in themselves (and their abilities) in ways they have not seen modeled.

Think about that. A person who did not have what they needed growing up..the words of affirmation…nope. The quality time….nope. The validation that they are seen and heard and the way they exist in this world is a gift…nope. It is brave to go searching for lifelines of hope with this kind of history. It happens everyday. Rarely are these the stories we read about. Our world is so focused on what can create drama, trauma, pain, and attention that we dismiss the incredble number of survivors who have fought for a different life.

Back to the innocense: I think these survivors also hope that this new life they build can be something that gets those who have hurt them to finally see them. From my experience, that isn’t how it works. In order for them to be proud of who you have become, they would need to own why you had to rebuild to begin with. The rebuilding is for you. Your future. Your today. Your past self who was in survival mode and hoping they can have an anchor someday. You are that anchor. Keep investing in that. Exhale. Show respect for the way you spoke up, sought help, made change, and continue to rebuild.

Brave, brave, brave!

I am so glad you are here!💞💞✨✨

I'm slowly learning that even if I react, it won't change anything, it won't make people suddenly love and respect me, it won't magically change their minds. Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers and don't expect people to understand Where you're coming from. I'm slowly learning that life is better lived when you don't center it on what's happening around you and center it on what's happening inside you instead. Work on yourself and your inner peace and you'll come to realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life.
