Beautiful. I feel seen and heard 🙌🙌🙌. Love this and relate:
“No one will ever know the violence it took to become this gentle. You have to understand, for much of my youth and becoming years, I was the opposite of calm. My nervous system was a mess, always on high alert, ready, I sensed danger everywhere. I didn’t trust anyone, any situation. What I’m saying is I didn’t trust myself. And when things went wild around me, I struck out or I fled. Mostly I struck out with my fists.”
