I used to get stuck focusing on the mistreatment and wanting what’s fair before I moved on. Waiting for justice distracted me from doing things that are beneficial to me—like healing. I can’t change what already happened, but I can change the way I respond to those things. The abuse taught me to think like a victim waiting for rescue, but as an adult, I’m empowered to rescue myself.
