I am Not What Has Happened to Me

The horrible things that happened to you? The abuse? The illness? The "condition"? The loss? The pain? The suffering? We have a label for everything now days. An excuse and a calling to be drowned by the darkness.

But is that who you are? Is that who you want to be? You don't have to be defined by the bad things that have happened to you.

Breathe.

Accept yourself.

Take a step.

Rise above.

Don't be what has happened to you.

Choose. 

To Become.
