Yes we do matter Cedar, and we always did.
I didn't know it so much back then, or even in the recent past.
As I am examining it, I am learning to step away from it, to grow more from it. Although the lessons were painful, they did make me, me. Giving meaning to the pain of it.
Like the butterfly story, struggling out of the cocoon.
The butterfly, must struggle, to strengthen the wings to fly.
If I look at my past experiences as lessons that bring me to where I am today, it opens up a whole new world for me.
I can accept, even, what my d cs are going through, in hopes that they will learn and grow from it.
I don't like it, but it is what it is.
I can understand that I have no control over it.
I can separate myself from it.
I can control what I allow in my household, and how I view myself, through my eyes.
