Being Your Best Self
Hi. I just wanted to take the time to write this little something. Self esteem is so important. How we feel about ourselves is important. I know how I valued myself was impacted in 2019 and 2020. And also 2021 and every year after that to be honest. I had experienced a hurtful thing called abuse both mental and physical. It was so bad that I gave up on myself. I didn't care about myself as much anymore. I talk about these things in the hopes that I will feel better but idk it's hard to say. It seems like nothing will make it better. Nothing will heal the wound I feel from what happened. Sometimes I don't see the point in doing anything like even writing this. But I want to write ✍️ I want to grow. I want to be better. Overcoming this challenge hasn't been easy but overcoming is a daily practice for me. It is something I must do everyday to not let myself feel sad and sorry for myself. I feel like a slave and that part makes me feel really bad about life. My outlook on life was just so bad but it has gotten a little better. If you asked me do I still feel like a slave I would say yes because I just feel like one. I know I'm not one but mentally I feel enslaved like I'm in prison or something. Hopefully I don't run out of space to type words. But anyway I hope hearing a part of my story will help you feel better about yourself or that it will help myself as well. I try to be positive but talking about the past is a heavy topic for me. Thank you all for reading and I'll post another one soon. Bye.

Hey there, how are you doing?
I just want to say that i'm proud of you. You've gone through tons of hardships in the past, but you still try your best to cope with everything and that's such an admirable thing that not everyone can do, and i hope you'll feel proud of yourself too, and don't forget to thank yourself and give yourself a pat in the back for successfully overcoming all your hardships. A lot of people tend to drown in self-pity but you try not to, and that's a great start to recovery.
And also yes, i agree with what you said earlier. I also think that having good self-esteem is crucial, but it isn't something that's easy to grow, and that's okay. Just give it some time
