Today I am safe

I am safe.

I am safe.

The year is 2014. I am 21 years old. This is reality. But I keep forgetting this. Forgetting that I'm safe and ok and that my body is healthy and going through a normal process. I am experiencing something every woman experiences and it's a good thing.

I have not been hurt like I was when I was little. I am not in danger. I am not being harmed. I am safe.

I don't feel safe :( I feel like crying and yelling because of the body pain. Memories that my body can feel. It's so painful and so awful I want to crawl into a ball under many layers of clothing and hide.

But I cannot let this unravel me. Cannot let this undo me. I am strong. I am ok. I am safe.

I am safe.

Help me get through this week.
