Memories have shaped my world, but our world shapes my memories. That shadow exists in all our minds, but we have to courageously explore the unknown, or else we will never know ourselves.
To understand that though people and events can break us down, we can still stand tall afterward. Sometimes we have to dig deep so that our roots can set in, because standing tall is just bravado without the ability to weather the storm.
You must nurture those roots with acceptance and gratitude, and offer shelter to those still exploring themselves.
Welcome. There is room here for the things we carry, the things we lose, and the things we are still becoming.
