Why it matters to speak up!
The #MeToo hashtag has grown into a movement for change and empowerment, but why does it matter so much to speak up? To share your story?
Because it heals. Well, that's the short answer. It helps you heal and helps others who lived a similar experience not feel as alone.
Opening up about traumatic experiences in our lives help us process them, it's good for us, but it may be even more important than that. In a world of perfectly plastic social media lives, we are less willing to show our scars and our pain than ever before, isolating ourselves and others. Making our own hurt and our own traumas worsen over time, bottled up within our locked hearts.
Feeling depressed? Anxious? This may be why!
All it takes is your truth to possibly change the life of another who's had a similar experience.
