Finding my sexuality has been a part of my healing journey which has been an extremely challenging time, I spoke very openly and raw about it on the #AbuseTalk Podcast if you want to hear more. But I wrote this one morning when I spent some time reflecting.
When I lay
When I lay staring at the ceiling
When I wonder why I never knew
When I think about the lost time that can never be reclaimed
When my body talks to me
When I finally know the pieces click together
When I feel the contentment embed itself within me
When I lose the worry about other people’s opinions and views
When I allow myself acceptance
When I first feel comfortable
When all my questions have been answered
That’s when I get to say that I am truly me.

What a beautiful tribute to your self-reflection. Makes me wonder what each of us may discover about ourselves if we just take the time to do the same!
