Dominate the storm!
The reason why it feels nearly impossible to get back in touch with the you you one knew — the secure-and-not-overly-self-conscious-to-where-it’s-lowkey-paranoid you — is not because she’s too far gone after the emotional abuse, it’s because you haven’t silenced the storm.
This is why even years later, it feels like the manipulation is still ongoing and the anxiety much alive, even though you have physically moved away from that situation.
Storms have a way of carrying you away once caught up in one, but not when you do the catching. Not when you dominate the storm.
You deserve to trust yourself again, you deserve your true self back again.
