For most of my adult like I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what it was. My family framed the dynamic that there was something was wrong with me and I learned to question my instincts, patiently waiting to be heard, and made myself small to keep the peace. I learned to live so well like that that when I decided to connect back to myself, it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It was an experience that shapes everything: your relationships, your self-worth, your body, your voice.
