Thank you so much for sharing this, Iman. I’ve never resonated with something more. It is a long, exhausting but, eventually, rewarding process to ‘trace the roots’ of your behaviour, your triggers or even your physical health. May Allah make introspection and the journey to emotional clarity easy for us, ameen. 🫶🏽
Thank you Juwi! I'm glad this resonated and thanks for your affirmations, the journey def isn't the easiest so it makes me happy to know we are not alone in this! and ameen to your duas as well <3
Iman, this was a beautiful, emotional, validating read 🥹 I’ve been on a similar journey all summer and it can be so difficult, especially (I’ve found) when consuming a lot of media that DOES pathologize trauma. I especially felt seen with the part of not necessarily needing to go on a witch hunt after your parents but accepting that they gave you what they could. I recently listened to a podcast where this guy mentioned how we’re the CEO’s of our lives - how although it’s true that not everything that happens to us is our fault, it is our responsibility to decide to be proactive and resolve it within us because nobody is coming to save us, and our experiences impact the way we show up in the world, but especially how we show up for ourselves. Also! I loved the show another self, just binge watched the second season haha. Thank you for sharing this 🤍
Aww Ayah this comments really made my day! Thank you <3 I'm glad this was relatable, you are so right that acceptance is the first step to this healing journey — also I love that you also watched 'Another Self' haha! so niche but soooooo good. Thank you again for your sweet words and May Allah make this process of self-discovery easier, ameen.
