I pray the sharing of my past,
Becomes the courage for someone’s future.
There is strength in numbers it allows us courage. Courage to speak aloud to something that we may have kept to ourselves... An experience that caused so much trauma when left alone to cope with on our own is based on our own self talk of our own experience to that suffering, that at times can make no sense to us or others around us. Sharing helps us understand what we are experiencing and can give us hope for tommorow.
So, by sharing we are allowing our vulnerabilities to lift one another, to understand, relate and to help them believe that they are going to be okay.
It's OK then
To not be OK
For awhile
To find those who gently listen even if just quietly holding "a space of safety" enables us to begin to find a voice! It is such a primary step!
