Even though who I am was so deeply hidden from me through the long-term effects of child trauma, I have found myself.
I have released the things which were imposed on me and found the things which truly mean something to me.
While I kept trying to figure out why I belonged nowhere, my mind was constantly in a search mode to find where I did belong.
This has happened in a combination of both gentle and radical ways, and I have found a good fit which is constantly expanding.
The old associations are tough to deal with, so I spend as little time as possible in them.
My new associations are, like my new self, gentle, non-judgmental, accepting and supportive.
Things make sense to me from this viewpoint.
They fit.
I fit.
I do have what belongs to me.
I have my own.
