this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story, of how you have grown into the wonderful person you are today.We carry so much with us from our childhood, we see the world through our parents eyes for a while and mimic how they cope. I am so glad that you tapped into your inner power, your self love. That is what carries us, that is where true acceptance lies.
Breathing is so important, I often think of how few of us actually take the time to breathe probably. Thank you for the reminder, breathe out pain, breathe in love.
Much love to you xx
