So to have them rush back into my memory and take over my entire day made me doubt everything I thought I knew about the work I was doing on myself.

Why can't there be a destination in this self-healing work? Why does it have to be an ongoing process?

I am proud of you and your becoming. There's an air of self-awareness that you've grown to know deep in your bones, where you've been and what you've walked through has shaped each footstep that you have left behind.
