Finding Katie Marie

I’m kind of digging this whole bathroom  mirror selfie thing. My self talk, the things I tell myself for the day should begin here. I can hear myself saying: “Dang, girl, you’ve got it going on.” “You are beautiful.” “You deserve this.” Today is a good day to love myself!

I think sometimes as a victim or survivor we cannot see past the victim mentality. We can't see past the past. It seems comfortable and I know I have the fear of the unknown. Ever since I remembered what happened to me, I have somehow let that define me. And it doesn't. I'm thinking there has got to be a way to heal, and accept my past without living there. I'm not a victim anymore. And what happened to me does not define me. It's something that happened and it's something I need to work through but it's not WHO I am. (Huge thank you to my advocate for reminding me of this) Who Am I? I am a friend/advocate A good employee/co-worker Loving wife and pet momma I'm me I'm hoping to use this blog to find out who Katie Marie is. I know that my past doesn't define me and that I am a good person. Here's to finding myself!
