I am the one who can fall deep into the abyss at any moment. I sit alone feeling out of place and exhausted and can easily be taken out by the chaos and wash away. The wounded girl in me sometimes still sits on the ledge waiting for danger and hoping to evaporate. Yet the adult in me knows how to appreciate the storms and silence and can self-soothe the little one. She is wise, strong and can take care of herself and all her parts. She can appreciate the fierce beauty of nature and not need to jump in and escape. I am the one who can hold both places as they coexist within me.
