My last therapist said that I reminded her of the main character in Unbroken.
I just watched the movie.
I'm starting to understand.
I've lived within a very different world than most. My mindset has been geared to figuring out how to survive each day and get through each night. There wasn't anything normal. I'm not like others, in a profound way.
The things I value are the little things that are taken for granted.
A decent meal, food in the cupboard, clean clothes, my own toothbrush, a clean towel of my very own, a bed with sheets, blanket and pillow, the ability to turn on the furnace, hot water, no one yelling at me, no one laughing at me, no one hitting me, shoes, pocket change, fresh fruit once a week,
I'm a once battered child trying to learn that it's okay not to be beaten.
It's a whole new world.
