This really resonates with me:
No matter what, I always do my best to try and have a positive outlook on things rather than the opposite – but sometimes my scars surface. Others may not understand them or even be able to relate to them, but guess what - they are all VERY real to me – and when I am cornered they all crack open like healing wounds and start bleeding again.
You amaze me, @jaynie. No matter what, even when you do feel hurt or angry, you just bounce back and show up again and continue being your out-loud-passionate self. The wounds of life have made me cautious, afraid to reveal that inner self who has been hurt so many times. I, too, choose positivity and go through life with the desire to spread joy, not to carry or display bitterness. What would be the point of that? But I don't know how to be unguarded, especially on social media! You are an inspiration to me.
You have NO idea how much this comment means to me today. It has been a incredibly hard week for me and I have been challenged both mentally and emotionally! I got to sleep at 4am on "Thursday night" and wondered how I would face Friday but I was so pumped with emotional adrenalin that I simply had to get up and face the hurt and betrayal. I had a chat with myself, gave myself a slap in the face and then decided that I would take the anger and hurt I felt I was feeling and transform it into something positive - hence, our new PHC daily post format lol.... nobody need know that, but that was me "bitch slapping" myself into touch.
Thank you for this hon - it means more to me than any words I can choose to leave here! xxx
That is the hallmark of a very strong person with deep reservoirs of commitment and ability to leap over obstacles. Instead of lying down in a sobbing heap, you made a plan and did something that helped you regain a sense of being in the driver’s seat of your own life. 😁❤️🌈
