...See more TW: Assault , emotional abuse. I don't know if I'll go into my past so hopefully I can edit this later but still feel I need to mention it just in case. I am not sure why I am doing this. Even though it's anonymous it still terrifies me. I started one yesterday and deleted it before I posted. I write in my spare time all the time but this is way different. I'll introduce myself first (without a name lol) I enjoy reading, writing, currently taking classes in my spare time. Which lately has been a lot of spare time. I might go into that into detail at some point. I also have animals, some special needs so I am always checking them. I don't have much of a life, quite frankly. If there's anything that rings through to you or you would like to share feel free to. However if there's negativity then please save the message. We live in a world full of negativity and I would prefer this to be my safe place. I don't know your story and I don't have to to know you're worth it. I wish that I knew that about myself many years ago when I could tell I had lost my way. I remember that day clearly. I was brushing my hair in my tiny bathroom and started looking at myself. I was taken aback by what I saw. It wasn't my physical appearance but it was that I didn't know myself anymore. I have medical issues and a pretty decent past of trauma. It was all just like a whirlwind and I set my brush down and really looked. Like stared myself down and literally muttered who are you? I sat with that feeling for a long time. I focused on way too much of the wrong information I was telling myself. I wasn't good enough, I had no purpose. I lived in that darkness for a long time. Then a bigger medical issue popped up. That's when things changed. That's when I realized that I needed to change. I couldn't just keep going through the motions and expecting things to change without doing any work. I decided I needed to be kinder to myself. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone (much like I'm doing here, I'm a work in progress) and decided to start telling myself why I was worthy every day. I hope you don't know what that feels like, but for me it was like pulling teeth. I literally had days where I'd think about it for hours with nothing. I would think about my positive traits and could only come up with two. But I couldn't cheat. So I sat there and googled my answer. It was like being an alien in my own body. I may share some of the reasons I'm worthy here from time to time. If you're still reading this I will share my journey more again soon. Thanks again for reading 😊
