The healing and changes in perspective continue, and I continue to honor myself as a survivor. I honor my decreasing moments of helplessness. I rejoice in breaking the silence. From my perspective, beyond surviving is healing, followed by thriving. While healing is the process of overcoming physical or emotional pain, injuries, or illnesses, thriving is successfully pursuing the joy of life.
Healing is active, and it has flow, juice, and vigor.
It leads to the level of thriving in which I prosper and flourish. There I vigorously develop and enhance my potential, talents, and ability to celebrate life with no holds barred. I am thriving. I want to be able to read all the pages of my life, clear-eyed and with full knowledge of everything written there, and to feel free. I absolutely claim my anger at perpetrators and events.
