You will heal

Few weeks back, I read about the experience a lady had, when she was molested as a child and how the wounds in her heart have never healed nor ever will.
I wanted to tell her so many things.
But I understand at the same time, about how it feels to be in such a situation.
It's a common situation but it isn't normal.

I learnt it very early on, that there was something wrong with being a girl. But later I realized that there was something wrong with the way the world sees you, as a girl. The voice echos in our heads like it's our own... It isn't.

We sometimes imagine the one thing that could help is justice in these situations. We love to throw the blame on the other for hurting us and keep on being just that...The one who was hurt and nothing else.

But it isn't about whose fault is.
Even when justice has been served, the one thing that remains the same, is the damage that has been done.
The question here is, are you willing to take the responsibility of wanting to be healed of the wrong that has been done to you? And to take the necessary steps towards that healing process?

But yes, by all means, do punish the criminal. It may not automatically heal you completely, but at least the crime won't be crime against another by the same person.

Justice does help, definitely. But it didn't change the past.

As women, as humans, we tend to severely underestimate our potential to heal. But I'm here to tell you that you will.

You were in this place before... Maybe not as bad, maybe it wasn't this hard before. But you did come out of it.

One very awesome lesson that a book taught me, was healing. The book was, "Anne of green gables".
Life does offer healing. And so does your body.... And guess what? The heart is a part of the body. (what a shocker)
Allow yourself to receive that healing.
And oh my gosh, believe that you will heal.
I believe in you.
