It is freeing to have the supportive and expert comments to rethink and refocus my energy. I can feel myself returning.
The part of myself that I miss very much is going to come back to me but , in a different way. The trauma I feel will not control me as much as it had for the past year. As I go through this change I know I’m receiving advice that is going if to work.
