Grateful for my last day of Silence via /r/gratitude

I took a semi week of silence to allow myself to feel my feelings. I avoided social media for a bit and made myself sit with every discomfort. It’s been very illuminating, painful and transformative. I’m rewriting my story after a life of trauma and neglect and I’m honoring my right to experience my pain , a pain that I have ignored too long as I felt that no one wanted to see that . It was my shame. So I am grateful for my pain. It’s not shameful. It deserves to be seen. I deserve to be seen
