Sister get on up
My sister girls we are look often seen and defined by a state of separation and disconnection. It's what has become the norm of these days. It's our job in this day to change that narrative.
Transparently I say I wasnt always one to uplift other women. I was the exact opposite to be honest. My own insecurities fueled, I fell into the mindset any other woman was my competitor. I hadn't grown up with biological sisters, the connection with women I saw from my mother weren't healthy. I didnt know what a sisterly bond was. Men weren't competion because well they were a way to gain another learned behavior. (Another story for another day)
Growing up lacking with a desire to have as others had haunted me. A mind focused on the need to gain and get ahead so validation and acceptance would come, so I could be like the others. I masked the hurt I had as well as the hurt I'd caused with dismissive, antagonizing and destructive behaviors I called "keeping it real". All relationships were disposable.
I dont really know at what age within my revolving door of relationships I met some genuine women. Women that would call me out ,sisters that wouldn't just let me walk away, that would encourage me. Sisters that would pick up the mirror turn it my way and say no baby that's all you and would do it in love. Sisters that would look me eye to eye an say sister get on up from there, there is a light in that dark place. I'd buried my heart so far behind a stone wall yet they saw beyond that and took the time to chisel it away. They showed me sisterhood, they restored what I hadn't known I'd lost. It's a true statement hurt people hurt people. Thankfully I was blessed with people willing to do the healing work.
Your heart is a place of growth, your spirit is a place of light, both are a place of healing that can blossom even from a broken place. The blessing of sisterhood can cause a beautiful life to emerge out of even a concrete shell.
I share my broken place with you my readers so another may be freed. So another my see themselves in me and know they can get up from that place. Just has hurt people hurt people, healed people heal people. So I share from my healed place #ShakenForRestoration
