“Today I
choose to feel the pain of sitting through a feeling, the terror
in realizing that I am powerless over so many things, and the joy
in knowing that I do not experience these things alone. I fight
my feet when they beg me to run and battle my mind in its
attempts to protect me from remembering the things I worked so
hard to forget. Today is a constant war for healing. It is filled
with promise and potential.”
