Today (or tomorrow, can't remember the exact date) Marks a date that isn't the best of dates. Better than some but still.

Two years ago today something happened that helped me to understand just how important it is for us to know who we are and make decisions for ourselves and not let others dictate who you are or what choices you should make.
If it haddn't have happened I wouldn't have been able to finally understand what it was like to make decisions for myself. Not out of a tantrum like it had been, but to stand up on my own two feet God gave me and make the decisions I know I needed to make because I wanted to make them.

This date reminds me to never let fear control my choices. To not let someone whisper into my ear what I "need" to do.

This date is also one of the only dates that I feel like I was terribly wronged and never apologised to for it. It hurts. When i remember it, it makes me feel the rift that is still there to this day. It reminds me that we are all human and no matter how good our intentions may be they can still hurt others in a deeper way then we could ever imagine.Our "good intentions" can be terribly wrong.

I was hurt, I was very hurt and very wronged,

I am better because of it, I refuse to let what was meant to tear me down to win.

I am who God made me to be. I am strong. I am confident. If you don't like who I am then you can walk away. Many people have.

  1. Just now seeing this post. Beautiful post. Not sure what you are referring to for sure because these dates are not stuck in my brain but I can sure feel your hurt. I too have had the same things happen and still would love to hear an apology or acknowledgement of the deepness of the wrong but that is for God to heal for me.

    I'm sure proud of the growth I've seen in you and appreciate how you have acknowledged the growth you have seen in me. I love sweetie so much. Now that you have your own, I'm sure you can understand that more.
