We restrict our self-worth to the memories of our past trauma. We look in the mirror and see the sharp words of our bullies stitched across our faces. We see our own bruised up bodies that abusers left behind such a long long time ago, much like an empty shell washed back up onto the shore. We see the rejection and the abandoned that people put some of us in or through, the very same people that we might have could or would have never actually been capable of doing anything of the sort.
We look at ourselves through the lens of the people who screamed, "you are not good enough!"
However, it is time that you finally free yourself from all of the shackles from your trauma. The truth is that you will never be truly healed, unless you can see yourself and recognize your own worth past everything that might have happened to you.
