Fear is not my master. I have allowed PTSD to stir up my demons for far too long. Since my event, I have dawned the uniform of a healthy, sane human. I have placed the mantle of ill-directed responsibility upon my shoulders and sought to protect those around me from the things I think they can not handle.
Far too many times I have heard people with PTSD say, "I don't want to share what I've seen because I don't want you to be affected the way I am". For far too long I have allowed myself to believe that the things I keep buried can harm the people around me like then do me. For too long I have allowed the fear to reign.
Today is a day where I am strong. Today is a day that I can feel fear giving way. Inch by inch I feel victory within my grasp today. I know I will not win this war today, but I write this so that you, and I can look back and be reminded that on the days when we are strong that there is light, there is hope.
Today is the day that I reaffirm my dedication to keep on fighting. Today is the day that I say, fear is not my master. I am the master of my life. Of my destiny. Of ME. This is the day we are to look back n when there is no light for us to see the road ahead. This is the time we remember that the road does exist, even though it has been so long since we saw it. That we start to question if we've ever truly started down it.
Fear is not my master. Fear is not your master. You are stronger than PTSD, you are stronger than your demons. Do not ever forget this. I know it is hard to remember, but that is what today is for. To remind you that healing is possible. That there is a road to healing. That we are all on it TOGETHER.
Because alone we falter, but together we win.
