"When I decided that trauma wasn't going to be my resting place. When I decided that healing had my name on it, my life really changed. And I made a choice to change. We are possible. That our life is the proof that we've made it. Our life is the proof that we are worthy. That's it. As we are, where we are is enough. So to whoever is struggling today, know that joy comes ― it returns. That your dreams are real. They are valid. You are worthy."

What does self-forgiveness look and feel like to you?
"Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different. I think for myself, and I know many of you think forgiving means accepting what has happened to you.

Forgiving is giving up the hope, not holding on, hoping, wishing that it could have been any other way than it actually was. Giving up the hope that the past could be any different. And when I got that, I think it took me to the next level of being a better person because I don't hold grudges for anything or any situation, and neither should you. It is letting go so that the past does not hold you prisoner ― does not hold you hostage."
