Testimonial

I have had so many masks in the past. One for every environment I find myself in.

Today I went much deeper and realized more and more masks worn while growing up. I remember how I was perceived as naughty because of my sense of humor, my lust for excitement. School didn’t approve and also not my parents. I remember my brother telling me I should be more clever, then I’ll not get into trouble so much.

I remember my high school love, how he told me I was not this, I was not that. This relationship lasted for more than 8 years and ended when I was 25, abused, bruised and shattered with not a clue who I was anymore.

I look back today, and gosh, I feel free. I feel so fucking light. Still have to deal with some of this, but the realization of how far I have come, how I peeled off layer by layer, no matter how hard it was.

This is Freedom! This is Acceptance!

Thank you for this journey…
