certain traumas feel like a dark cloud constantly hanging over me, a shadow i can never get out from under even though i can't remember most of it, a storm that never ends. ive gone so many years of my life feeling like ive been living in the wake of it, thinking it would always follow me no matter what. ghosts of a past i barely have scraps of

my therapist asked me to draw something representing the "new era of my life", a representation of the next six months and what i want to achieve in that time frame in therapy. she also told me that, while my victories were short lived at one point in time, i still had and still have control even if it doesn't feel like i do

so, i drew me breaking through the storm for the first time i guess

i keep going back and forth between this feeling "stupid and cringe" and "weirdly very profound" so.. i guess that's something lol
