This is SO PERFECT!! YES AND YES! Thank you for writing this. I think people sometimes forget that we write from where we are in that moment or where we would like to be (healing writing)- at least I do. Those articles have helped me too, and still do - but over time it has shifted and I've realized I really, really wasn't happy there so I want people to know that they CAN get out, they are not enslaved and they can change - but it's in their own time. I so wish I could write an article that made everyone feel so validated, like they weren't alone, and then end my inspiring them to no longer be a victim - but it's impossible because everyone receives writing differently. Your words are so beautiful, thank you for sharing your response and journey - I'm glad you're moving forward in your life - it's no easy feat and I find myself slipping back sometimes, but writing these articles helps remind me that I'm strong too. Much love to you! <3
