Quote by G. Scott Graham

“Healing is about becoming available. To life. To joy. To fear. To grief. To love. To uncertainty. To beauty that has no guarantees. Healing is the willingness to show up exactly as you are — not cleaned up, not perfected, not finished. Just here.”

“Earlier I used to cry for people. I used to beg them to stay even when they didn't value me. Now I quietly walk away from them with a smile because now I don't want anyone who disturbs my peace. And I have understood there's no point in crying for those who intentionally make you cry. Now I have realized, healing and growth happen in silence not in screams.”

“Be gentle with my emotions, As I used to be scared to feel, I was forced to hold them in, Not allowed to say what was real. Be gentle with my mind, As it was once warped and twisted, Made to believe the falsities, That the cruel person insisted. Be gentle with my soul, As it was once broken beyond repair, Tortured, trapped, used and wasted, Thrown away without a bloody care. Be careful with my body, As it was taken without my consent, Only through therapy, tears and time, Have the memories come to relent.”
