A while back I looked up at my bookshelf and was like, “oh my gosh - I totally forgot I had these books! I love them!” Another time I listened to an old playlist and remembered how much I loved certain songs and genres and I danced and sang and laughed as I listened. Both times felt like a return home.

I call this “the great unthawing” phase of my life. And as a survivor you most likely have had or will have it, too.

It’s the great remembering and accepting of your likes and dislikes. Of you standing in and embracing your creativity, your passions, your own dang self. It’s remembering who you were before and integrating it into who you are now without apology. It’s showing your younger parts you’re safe and it’s ok to play.

This unthawing doesn’t happen overnight and can come it waves, bright glimmers and slow flows. And it’s all there waiting for you.

Keep going. Keep embracing you. You’re a badass and get to choose you now.
