An ode to Self.

If you hurt me. I love you.


If you betrayed me. I love you.


If you abused me, scared me, drove me to despair, abandoned me.


I love you.


I see you.


There is an instantaneous forgiveness here for any and all seemingly wrong-doing.


For you, my friend, have aided me in looking at every dark and dusty corner of myself.


You’ve invited me to turn inward.


To face the parts of me that I was running from ~ that I was not loving.


That I feared.


The parts of me that I was rejecting, neglecting, abusing.


That I was lying to.


For had I not been self-abusing, I would not have been a magnet for you to do the same.


The tears that have fallen have been cleansing all that I am not.


The crippling pain arose in waves for me to feel and face.


The trail of broken promises lead to the doorway of freedom that opened in your wake.


How could I not love you.


For you are my reflection, my mirror.


Thank you.


You are me.


This is an ode to me.


Oh how I love me.


My God, how breathtakingly magical.


❤️


Does this condone your actions?

Would I ever allow you access to my heart, my world, my life, again?

Absolutely not.

It took me years to finetune the people I decided to have around me. (I realised people only treat me the way I allow them to treat me.) when I decided enough was enough, what a blessing that was and how my life improved. - another great guidance Jolene, thank you.x

Wow, that was heartfelt, raw, everything laid bare . . . . and underneath all of this pain is love. When everything is stripped away, we see that there is only love. 💕💗
