On #healing & #restoration For the first time in years, as i accidentally stumbled upon photos that held so much memories - i didn’t feel the pain. I didn’t have the autopilot response of deleting them, something i’d done to escape the hurts, to try and live as if they didn’t happen. I even felt delighted, reminded that was was seemingly lost things, gone forever, can still be found. I was reminded that all those years i was still “living” even if i’m weathering through the strongest bouts of depression. I had good times with family + friends, smiling and laughing. I had a community that loved me. I had connection. I chose to fight hard every day and show up. These photos are tangible reminders for when the lying vicious thoughts come, hunt and taunt me. 🌱🌻🌞🍓
