”One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.” James Earl Jones.
And what is beyond hard is when you do utter what is in your heart; your truth and you are not believed or heard.
This sets into motion a belief that your insides are wrong and the outside unhearing ear is right.
We never stop and consider that the ear is broken and our insides are right.
I know that when my mother didn’t hear or believe my message of abuse, I was left not believing myself.
When you don’t believe your own self, you are set out to sea adrift and must rely upon another for your sense of self.
You are without oars to steer yourself; you rely upon others for your sense of direction. A life lived for others….
I took my oars back five years ago, I now row where I want to go and I love love love the freedom that came with it!
I am the captain of my little rowboat!
