Late last night I woke up with a deep understanding that I am not the things that happened to me. Some very bad things happened to me during my life but those things that did so much damage are not “me”. Those things are entirely separate from me. This might seem obvious to others, but I somehow never came to understand and know that in my core. I feel like I can now step away from those experiences. I feel like I can look at that stuff and acknowledge that those things took place, but they do not have to be attached to me at all any more. I am still getting my head around this. It is really blowing my mind. Like waking from a terrible nightmare, then looking at it and knowing that it’s over now. I can go forward. I can finally walk away. I can walk away and never have to go back.
