I think the hardest part is releasing yourself, detaching yourself from the story, from the narrative you keep repeating about your life. When you start to look at events and your past experiences as just that — as experiences, as something that you go through, but not as something that you are. You can begin to release and heal yourself from your story. You can move beyond it. Living an exceptionally amazing life isn’t far out of reach. It is something you build and experience daily. But you can’t create that life, if you are still holding onto the narrative of the old you — of what has been done to you, and what you have gone through. Take a step back from that story, and see your reality for what it is. A play. In which, in this moment and aspect of reality, the star of the show is you. Where you have the power to write the ending how you want to.
