Just read it now and wow..thanks for sharing such a beautifully vulnerable piece. The way you alchemised your pain into a creative masterpiece is a gift. I resonated with the part of you in this post. She sometimes comes up and wants to cause self destruction but being aware of that part and choosing otherwise is the key. And sending love not shame to that part of us that self soothed in the ways that only knew how to at the time.
Hi. This was a sweet post.
I just wrote one of those I want to delete... you know the ones. Ugh. I feel too exposed.
