WHAT IS "NORMAL" ANYWAY?

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about 'Normality'. What is normal anyway? It is so common these days that people feel ashamed to be themselves, they cover their scars and flaws nicely, they don't share their personal struggles so as to feel/be 'normal'.We hide parts of our lives from family and loved ones. Why is that? Well, I'd say because we want to Feel 'normal' ... Be 'normal' and Stay 'normal'. 

You this this photo up there, I would NEVER have shared it for anyone to see because that to me is not 'normal'. It's not just about my slim leg, if I have my way, I would even out my bum too. Insecurity you say? Yeah! try being in my shoes. BUT ain't we all insecure about some things in our bodies or lives? 

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A PATHWAY TO ACQUIRING DISABILITY

Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, yet we often excuse, deny and overlook the problem of domestic abuse in our society. Most times, the abuse is more psychological than physical. Noticing and acknowledging the signs of an abusive relationship is the first step to ending it.

Domestic abuse and violence are used for one purpose only: to gain and maintain total control over you. An abuser uses different means to hold you down. Fear, guilt, blackmail, intimidation and shame to wear you out and keep you down. An abuser doesn't play fair at all.

It occurs within all age range, race and economic levels. Domestic abuse often escalates from threats to verbal abuse to violence.

Set yourself free don't live in denial. Talk to someone you can trust about your situation. Help is always NEAR.
