Wow. Years. Years have gone by since I have written.
I just took some time to go back and read some of my past posts.
pain.
despair.
abandonment.
betrayal.
pain.
Holy shit. I knew I was in a bad place. I knew I was struggling. If I could go back to that girl, I’d say–
“you will make it”
“you will not recognize your future self”
“I got you”
“just. trust. me”
Guess what? My future self was right. I DID make it. I had ME. I trusted ME.
My life has done a complete flip on itself.
I met a guy.
Guy fell in love quick.
YIKES. SCARY. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
but….there was something inside telling me not to run away. He said that I have this wall up and if we don’t get it down together, he can’t stick around.
gut punch. bitch, you cannot keep living like this.
then I met HER. my magical friend. my magical friend who has the power to release and block any and all trauma so I can live my best life with this great guy.
enter Roze. My kinesiologist. My kinesiologist who does EMDR, energy work, and a whole lotta love to move me past all that bullshit I went through. (forever grateful, but still bullshit)
ONE. one. uno. just one. ONE session with Roze did what YEARS of talk therapy could NOT accomplish.
poof. gone.
I could think of a scenario that used to “trigger” me. (not a fan of that word but it gets the job done)
It would just float on by in my head. Wouldn’t stop, wouldn’t collect $200, wouldn’t go to jail and stay there in my prison of a brain.
A NEW LIFE. a new fucking life. what in the world.
I’m still amazed and forever grateful to her. I send all of my friends and family to her.
Guess what?
We invited her to OUR wedding. I know, I know..JULIA YOU GOT MARRIED AGAIN?!
yep.
To an amazing man who loves me unconditionally, loves my children as my own (and I his), who treats me as his equal, who loves my friends, who supports me in everything (even my crazy ideas), and who pumps my gas for me.
When I say EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, believe me.
I was destined to go through what I went through to become the best version of me, so I could meet my life partner. So I could be strong enough to stand on my own two feet and take one step forward in the right direction. I did a lot of self work before he came along. Roze was the icing on the cake.
and what a sweet cake it is.
