You will, with time.
You are not wrong or broken for feeling the way that you
do. You responded to your circumstances as any healthy
person would have. If anyone else was in your shoes, they
would have reacted the exact same way. They would feel
the exact same way.
You were a healthy person who went through something
traumatic and responded accordingly.
You are someone who moved on because they had to, but
who wasn’t sick enough to disassociate entirely from the past.
The fact that you can still recall what happened is a signal
that you’re healthier than you think, more willing to
heal than you realize, and more forgiving than you ever
imagined you could be. Everything that’s haunted you is
rising in your consciousness so you can see it and bow
out with grace.
You are not the person you were, even if all those pieces
are still very much a part of you.
You are not broken for being in pain; you’re seeing yourself
out of it.
