I failed today.

I failed today, it doesn't mean I'll fail tomorrow, it doesn't mean I'm a failure- it means I'm human. I had a bad moment, I experienced an emotional flash back and fell back into old patterns, into old ways of thinking- I let my past define my emotions and actions in the present; I let my inner child overwrite my adult brain and for a moment I was incapable of choice. I failed today but I'm letting myself own it and know that even if I fail I'm still worthy of love and understanding. Healing from trauma isn't easy, it's a messy road with no set rules, but I'll do it- I'll get there in the end, I'm just taking the scenic route.
