My Beautiful Daydream

"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allen Poe

Broken Children

​We all have something from our past we're trying to "get over". For me, it's a childhood of abuse, growing up in a family where it was unsafe to talk about anything REAL, and loving an alcoholic father who I couldn't fully trust. In my past, I have struggled with alcohol and drug abuse, promiscuity, cutting, self-hate, codependent relationships, isolation, depression, and suicidal thoughts. ​BUT... today I'm in recovery. Today, I'm learning how to be my own parent.
I'm learning how to stand up for myself and trust myself. I'm learning that I can have a happy life in spite of a less than perfect childhood. Today, I can trust the process of recovery to show me more of how I was affected by my childhood and in what ways it's up to me now to be my own guardian. My parents are not perfect. Just like I'm not perfect. They were hurt in their childhoods too. We are all just trying our best to make it. I'm choosing, with the help of a recovery program and my higher power, to not just survive, but to live a life beyond my wildest dreams.
