Don't be fooled again! Pay attention, someone's effort is a reflection of someone's interest in you. This above all should be the gauge of your effort! Stop giving more than you get!

Victims of abuse, your trust has been violated and corrupted. It will take time to heal this wound, be patient and brave.

You have danced with the devil. Labels are not important except one, asshole. Chalk up your worst choice ever... Done! Now go live again.

Love yourself the way you have loved others. You will be fine. Your future does not belong to fate it belongs to you. Be happy right where you are.

In order to heal from being a victim of abuse, learn to let go and forgive. Forgiveness will allow you to let go of the anger and pain that holds you to your abuser.

You will be stronger because you fell and got up. Be patient during the journey, if you rush your healing you will not get the “lesson

I found myself again when I stopped expecting you to be something that you are not.

Dear survivor, go at your own pace and give yourself credit for doing even the little things. If you do not hold your own hand and talk to yourself like you would take to a friend, recovery will last longer.

If I knew back then what I know today, my life would have been different. No people pleasing, no forgetting my little me, no abuse, no fear or sadness. I cannot go back. I can however change tomorrow by letting go of the crap and just making the choice to be happy. That is the secret... just be happy! Don't waste another minute.
