There's quite a lot of things that drains us as human beings. More especially as a woman. From our life background to families to expectations.
We all got our own stories to tell, from trauma survivors, carrying family burdens, broken homes, etc. Born a female there's a lot that is expected of you from birth(correct me if am wrong). It's like your future is automatically decided from birth. Imagine in other cultures out there in this same world a baby girl is born and her marriage has already been planned, she already has a husband who is already grown.
There's a lot of women who carry the trauma and burden of inferiority from men. It's a chain that most have believed that women are inferior and they can be taken advantage of.
I come here to all my fellow women out there who are carrying a lot, who have faced and dealt with a lot, to all women who have carried a lot of trauma and need to heal. I have come to tell you that in every fight and in every battle you face you are not alone. And life is about to change for you.
Coming from a fellow trauma survivor, here's what has worked for me to keep moving foward, thus, I Outgrew What Drained Me. Yes you have been through a lot that you can not explain, you carry a lot of hurt and hate, you have scars that wont fade and everyday everything you have been through flashes back at you making everyday life difficult. It makes it hard for you to function bacuse you are still stuck in the past, still stuck in the trauma, still stuck in that excruciating pain and everyday you keep replaying all the scenes over and over again especially for those who have faced abused, basically, sexually etc. I know it's hard baby girl but we gotta move on. And tell you what, again, you are not alone. Am here to heal with you, to listen to you, to cheer for you. That's girl power.
I want you to come to the light, it's going to take some time i know but slowly you will get there. Leave the darkside that keeps holding your dream and goals, leave everything that drains you from inside out and see how life starts working out in your favor.
I want you yo realize that whatever happened, whatever you faced don't ever say to yourself that "you derseved every bad thing that happened to you." No. If they said you were not enough, they said you mean nothing, they said you are powerless, they said you are worthless, they said you are ugly, they said you don't deserve to be happy, they said you are a mistake, they said every bad thing to you. Now hear this Beautiful, say it with me:
I am Worthy, I am Enough, I am Gorgeous, I have the power, I deserve happiness, I am Not a Mistake, I was born with purpose from God not of human, I am Loved, I am Favoured, I am not an option, I am Deserve More. Yes! Yes!
You are Loved, don't ever allow anyone make you feel unloved. Know your worth. Don't let the past define your future. Don't let people talk down on you because of your past. Carry yourself with power, because you are POWER. You deserve to heal. The moment you decide to let yourself heal, make space and Time for yourself to heal you shall see how doors of goodness and grace will automatically open for you.
I want you to live for you, not for for what people say of you or for what expect of you. Let your stories be a testimony not a burden.
Always remember "There's no Glory without a Story." Stop holding the negativity and start releasing. Let God fix it all.
OUTGROW EVERYTHING THAT DRAINS YOU, and then you shall experience genuine peace and happiness.
My sister, i wanna see you happy with a genuine smile.
