I don't expect many reads of this post, since I emerge after almost 3 years. But I feel an upgrade is needed, so here it goes.
I haven't written novels and poems since 2016. I haven't opened my profile since 2018. Quite a shitload of time, isn't it?
It's because I needed to find myself. I was in an extremely dark place, dealing with abusive family dynamics all alone, and couldn't do anything but survive. Somehow, the Universe decided I was ready to begin healing, so I started pulling away from my family, going to therapy, volunteering for feminist NGOs and writing activist posts on my Facebook and Instagram.
It is an ongoing process of healing, but I am much, much stronger than before. I learned to take shit from no one, to cut ties with anyone that harms me and to protect my mental and emotional health at whatever cost.
The prospect of writing again on Wattpad is not so far-fetched, but right now I just want to reintroduce myself to all of you.
I finish this message hoping that you become aware of how much you deserve to heal. Childhood trauma is painful and needs to be addressed no matter how small or big it may seem.
And if no one told you this in a while... YOU ARE WORTHY. YOU ARE LOVED. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. <3
