Reminiscing

I wrote this 5 years ago today. 

Some people hide from their past, it reminds them of pain and they don't want to relive it.  

I relish things like this. I read this and realized how far I've come, how far we've come.  

I read this and remember how hopeless and frustrating it all was. I remember focusing too much on the pain, on what I was missing out on. 

Now. 

I'm not her anymore.  

God has blessed us,  given us opportunity to learn and grow.  

He's helped fix my perspective.  

I can look back on this, not with regret, but with appreciation for everything I've been given. I know I needed to be her to become me. 

And I like myself,  I like who I'm becoming.

You are not a tree.

You can move.

Physically,  mentally,  emotionally. 

You can move, you can grow, you can become better with age. 

Isn't that amazing and wonderful? 

I think so. 

😊

God bless and good weekend. 💚
