Choose Life: Dysfunction Can Be Healed

-
Image
  Coming from extreme dysfunction your perspective can be somewhat warped (bent or twisted out of its true shape). Not because there is something wrong with you, but because dysfunction has a way of teaching you things that were never meant to be normal. You learn to survive in environments that require constant adaptation. Over time, those adaptations can begin to feel like your identity. You may mistake chaos for love. You may confuse hypervigilance with wisdom. You may believe that carrying everyone else's burdens is your responsibility. You may think your worth is tied to what you do rather than who you are. When dysfunction is all you've known, it becomes the lens through which you view yourself, others, and the world around you. But it doesn't have to stay that way. Healing begins when you realize that you have a choice. A choice to question what you've always believed. A choice to challenge unhealthy patterns. A choice to stop normalizing what wounded y...

Rediscovering Me Again

-


Sometimes on this healing journey, I catch myself and laugh…
because I realize I’m getting to know me again.

The other day I found myself briefly crushing on someone,
being playful, kind of bold even, not shy at all…
and I thought to myself,  wait a minute… I remember her.

Survival mode, stress, anxiety, and life
can make you forget parts of who you are or used to be.

You become quiet when you used to be expressive.
You become guarded when you used to be free.
You become tired when you used to be full of life.

But healing has a way of bringing pieces of you back.

What made me laugh was how fast my mind reset
when I realized he was married…

                                            I literally swiped my hand across my head like                                              Never mind, remove that thought. 😄

And in that moment I realized…

Growth isn’t only about changing.
Sometimes it’s about
remembering who you were
before life weighed on you.

Sometimes growth looks like therapy.
Sometimes it looks like prayer.
Sometimes it looks like breathing and resting.
And sometimes…
it looks like laughing at yourself
because you realize you’re finally free enough
to feel again. 

My mind is clearer.
My heart is lighter.
My spirit is more aware.

God didn’t just bring me out of anxiety, depression, and fear…
He’s restoring my personality, my joy, my confidence, and my peace.

Thank you God for letting me meet myself again. 🙏
