As I heal, I realize I am losing my strength to hang on to the past.
Finally, it is wiped out, the pain, and only the peace and happiness remain.
I have done my good work.
I have banished the demons by letting them go.
My act of courage has saved my life.
I have disabled the brainwashing of my abusers.
My life is now big enough to contain all my experiences.
It has become overwhelmingly self-directed.
I live in an attitude of self-care, self-appreciation, self-nurturing.
My care for myself has finally outstripped my care for others.
I can now, at long last, take care of myself.
I have rounded it up a little bit, the active years of abuse, and I can fill in for a start, the next five thousand days, with succeeding happiness.
