Healing 💗

Healing is more than just about me. It’s more than just coming through my own past, my own trauma, my own pain. It’s about being better for them. The little hand that holds mine, the little kicks I feel inside, it’s about giving them a chance to thrive. It’s making hard choices even when I want to give in. It’s breaking the cycles so the girl I was taught to be doesn’t have to be the woman my daughter becomes.
