Tunnel To Healing

Currently, I am staying with Lilie in Norfolk Va. My plan is to move to Hampton once I get a job and get an apartment.

For those that are not familiar with the Hampton Roads Area, there is an underwater tunnel that connects Norfolk and Hampton. So many people do not like the tunnel because it is narrow and closed in.



I honestly do not have too many issues with it. I know it is temporary so I just hit the gas and go.

The first week I moved here I had to go to the Va Hospital to establish care. I knew I had to go through the tunnel and did not think anything about it. I would just hit the gas and go.

I was getting through the tunnel with no issues. Then I saw a similar view as the below picture. I started seeing the light of the “end of the tunnel” I felt my heart start to beat out of my chest. I really was not thinking much of it.


As soon as coming out of the tunnel I then saw the next view of the first exit that is the VA Hospital.  I started balling.  I realized that coming out of the tunnel into Hampton this is a symbol of the “tunnel of healing”

 

While in the tunnel it is a dark compact area.  But as you go forward you begin to see the light and the possibility of freedom from this compact area.  And that is how I feel about this next chapter in my journey.  I feel like I am in this dark compact area because I have not really explored my childhood this dark confined area.  But as I was coming out of the tunnel I realized that I am ready to come into the light and to finally be freed from my past.

I don’t know what this journey is going to entail.  I know it will not be easy.  But I look forward to finally breaking these chains.

To GOD Be The Glory.  Take Care.  Much Love.
