Dear younger me,
If I could go back in time, I would wrap my arms around the little girl I once was. I’d tell her she is strong, even in the moments when she feels small. I’d remind her that even though she didn’t always feel loved, she has always been worthy of love. I wish she had…
On the sidewalk crying out for you.
Early morning 3/29, i found myself on the side walk sobbing and calling out for my mommy. I had just regained consciousness from hitting my head on the sidewalk. I was being held in the arms of my abuser. He said he “saved” me. He was the reason i was on the ground in the…
