Skyla Flames

Children of the 17 Skyla Flames

The Abandoned, Abused, The Unwanteds, The Throw-aways... The "Different" Ones: What if every hurtful moment of your past was not only purposed, but a choice you made - an agreement set in the stars before you ever stepped foot into this world?Children of the 17 leave a portion of themselves inside of pre-adulthood years - sometimes a large portion, sometimes small portions. But the pain they endure hinders them from fully graduating into what we call adulthood; maturity. The missing pieces are the very thing that keeps them tied to a childlike state, and the memories that linger, unresolved inside of their own hearts, fragmenting their souls in timelines they've left behind. We are taught to associate trauma with bad luck, a bad deck of cards dealt to us. And in the aftermath we often label ourselves victims and allow others to do it too - to call us damaged, depressed, abandoned, unwanted, bipolar, schizophrenic, an addict, a throw-away. Yes, we are different. But why? Why me? Why you? Do you know who you truly are?What if that hole, that void, that hit you before the age of 18 was creating a timeline of remembrance that would unlock a type of consciousness you can't even fathom? What if a version of you in a world you can't see created that trauma in order to keep you coming back to yourself, searching, seeking and remembering until the shadow lifts and the void transforms into the greatest truth and treasure within what we call reality here? You are not your experiences. But your experiences may just guide you home. You are love. You are light. You are a warrior.
