Back in the summer of 2019, I was blessed enough to attend my cousins wedding in France. It was such an amazing trip, the trip of many firsts for me. First time exploring Paris on my own, first time attending a wedding in Europe, first wedding and trip I’ve been on since starting my journey in recovery.
It was definitely a trip that tested my strength and I passed the test. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was in France and the fact that my auntie was there for me, I can bet some money that it wouldn’t have ended well for me.
The day of the wedding I got into an argument with a family member and my auntie took me for a walk. We chatted, I cried and she made me laugh but it wasn’t until we made it to a the top of a hill (shown in pic #2) that we climbed, and what she said (pic #1) that I truly felt at peace. It’s something that I will never forget, it’s a huge part of my recovery now and I’m so grateful for this moment.
If you’re struggling maybe give this a try and if it’s not for you that’s okay, thank you for reading my post to the end! We are worthy of so much especially peace. Stay true, queens!! 👑
