We already experience many prejudices in this world. Whether it's age, gender, race, financial status; we now have political labels to contend with. Labels given by other peers - society or the surrounding poison within our own environment.
The most distressing label is at times silent as the person who endures pain of abuse deals with its guilt surrounding it. It is a label that follows a person like a shadow. The only way to lose this shadow is to hide - not be seen or to be perfectly silent not ever expressing the pain.
Being a survivor, even up to present day of 2025 the battles one goes through is healed not only with time, therapy, but with absolute love.
I use to walk around thinking everyone can see a "battered woman's shadow " and silence was the key to not be pitifully looked at as a victim.
Overcoming this syndrome has been long and treacherous at times some people convicted me as if I was the abuser, others thought of me as yesterday's trash.
The journey is never at a halt it is constant awareness. It is replacing all the false beliefs with love as the key ingredient to empowerment!
Yes, you'll find resources that allude to you loving yourself first. The journey isn't so simple as they say. The truth is in acknowledging your definition of what is love that will carry you on to success in your journey.
Step beyond the looking glass and take the plunge to explore possibilities to live fully - be alive each morning you wake! Fulfill your soul with tenderness as you reflect love from within your soul for others-the world-the universe-our divine creator. Be the survivor who can co-create love with those who look like you so they are never alone tempted by poison ever again.
