Sometimes we just have to let go of our past. Our past will/can make us stronger.

We all have scars that we carry around. These scars we carry are scars that are as individual as we are individualists. We all may hope and dream of the same thing, but because we are individuals, the outcome will not be the same for anyone.

My younger years were horrible. I actually do not even remember much of my childhood, expect for the bad parts, which were many. I was sexually abused, tried suicide when I was fourteen years old and later on in life…all because I let the demons control my life….I let my past life events hold onto me like a ball and chain. I finally realized how strong I truly was when I stopped letting the demons control my life.

Fight for what you want, even if you don’t believe in yourself. I honestly felt I was worthless growing up. My self esteem was in the toilet. I cringe when I think of the person I was growing up to be. I never felt “good enough”. I let what happened to me in my childhood rule my life. I finally realized my past could not control me and I was better than what I was allowing myself to be.

I am no longer ashamed of my childhood. What happened to me actually made me the strong individual I am today. I am able to help others who were sexually abused, have suicidal ideations or have little or no self esteem because I experienced those feelings. I survived the past while building a beautiful life and future.

So….Your past can either hinder you, if you let it, or it can pave the way to a wonderful future. Our past can strengthen us or weaken us if we let it. It is all about the lessons we learn along the way and if we allow the negatives to take control or turn those negatives into welcoming lessons. We need to turn the negative feelings/thoughts into positive future adventures.

I want to end this post by letting you know….You don’t have to have others believe in you to be amazing. You have to believe in yourself. Believe you are better than those who tried to break you. You are as strong as you want to be. Trust me when I say you are a beautiful strong individual and you CAN get past your past. Do not allow your past to justify the amazing life you can have. Grow from your past and learn from your past…..But never ever allow your past to control you.

YOU ARE AMAZINGLY STRONG………..
