I'm working on believing that I deserve to be heard.  A lot of what is happening in my life right now is about me telling my story and a lot of times I doubt that others hear me and understand.  Then I doubt if I should even say it out loud.  I have felt the sting of victim blaming, the look of doubt, I've felt the tears well up and my body reacts to not being heard.  I almost talked myself out of saying it but no, I believe I deserve to be heard and I deserve to own my story and not be afraid to tell my truth
