BALI (II)

It has been over half a year since I packed my bag and moved to Bali. I feel like I've been here longer than that but it's not even a year yet! Crazy how times work. Maybe one of the reasons is because so much happened here in Bali, from personal growth, and career, to relationships.
I feel so blessed.I feel like I've been given a second chance in life and it's been wonderful.
I know my days aren't always happy cute playful days, but there are still those days that I can't even look myself in the mirror. The feeling of resentment keeps coming back and forth, and it's not easy. It's a pain in the ass. But it's easier to get through. Before, it took me hours to get up from the bed and now, the longest is an hour.
Living here in Bali is one of the reasons why things get easier. I came here with the mindset 'this is a new chapter of my life' and it is. Life keeps surprising me in a way I will never forget for the rest of my life. My only hope now is that this happiness won't end.
Do I deserve this?
I do. I'm beginning to live the life I prayed for.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP AFTER TRAUMA

Being able to open up to new people after a traumatic experience(s) is not easy. We become more aware of the red flags - often feel like we are too aware. For trauma survivors or those who are experiencing traumatic relationships, the act of deepening relationships can be challenging. 

Today I want to talk about my own experience of starting to open up to people again and how to be in a relationship after a traumatic one.

Keep in mind, I am not an expert. What I share is purely based on my journey.
