It’s so interesting how we can believe the lie that someone has a low opinion of us based on our own insecurities…
I walked around unknowingly carrying around shame and condemnation for DECADES…
I walked around believing the lie that others could see how worthless I felt…
I walked around not really putting effort into relationships because I didn’t want to get too attached…
It’s crazy how our own insecurities can keep us in a mental prison…
It’s crazy our self-talk will whisper lies that have never been spoken outside of the walls of this mental prison
It’s crazy how addressing our trauma can at times bring us instant and complete freedom as we forsake the lies and embrace the truth about who we are and who we were created to be…
Freedom isn’t free… but it’s worth the tears…
Freedom isn’t free… but it’s worth addressing the pain…
Freedom isn’t free… but it’s worth admitting the lies you’ve told yourself…
Freedom isn’t free… but it’s worth the work it takes to achieve it…
And freedom doesn’t always come after simply renouncing the lies you have been believing because sometimes the trauma you have endured is so much deeper than that…
But being free enough to live and breathe and exist as you were created to… without trauma-induced limitations… is worth whatever measures need to be taken to obtain said freedom…
