Detaching From Trauma

Submitted on May 5, 2025 by  Angel S.

I am in a good condition.
I have a full cup to pour some love on others.
My space is shared with sisters who want and need to talk; to ask questions.
Even in my darkest days, I bring much to the table.
These past few years have taught me to remember self care and self love.
I broke through the barriers with gratitude and faith, most would have gave up.
I find helping others and doing my outreach work is a way to keep me from isolating.

I freely give my time and expertise to the subject.
Hard conversations.
It's really a big thing for others to thrive and live happily.
When diagnosed a person confides in me and trusts my guidance and love.
I kill stigma one day, one person at a time.
Doors are opening and I feel alive.
This journey has not been easy yet I overcome
Those speed bumps.

When I blog, I know longer feel alone or carry the weight of unforgiveness.
I detached not from loving you. I detached by living in the present time.
For me I must share my knowledge and experience.
I drop my resentment in a bag.
I don't take it in my home.
Grace, love, and growth are my go to.

Your words radiate strength, compassion, and deep wisdom. The way you’ve turned personal healing into communal care is inspiring. “I kill stigma one day, one person at a time”—that line hits hard in the best way. Keep pouring from that full cup—you’re changing lives with every drop. Aunty Lou xx
