I have moved into a new chapter of my life. Out from the darkness and abuse.
I'm finding my new life exhilarating. There is a calm acceptance around me.
I stepped out into complete acceptance.
Being honest with myself also brings a hope for this year. I had no self-esteem. I lost my smile. Fast forward I see my life transformed by walking in my faith.
The road has been long yet I can see all my difficulties melt away, the fear of being myself and accepting my role in the struggle.
My advocacy work is thriving.
I am able to help those with new diagnosis to navigate through the stigma into their own journey. All the while addressing how very important it is to prioritize self-care. I cannot pour from an empty cup.
I am seven months clean from self-medicating.
I'm learning to adjust to being safe and loved.
With so much hurt behind me, I move forward with the direction of my higher power. I'm not a victim.
Today I can live and I know I can find my smile. Thank you all for being my support. I truly deserve to be happy.
So for now I'm checking in. I still have a way to go. I won't ever give up on me.
If I can be such an inspiration to others, I must treat myself with the same love I freely give to others.
Life is good and I am healing.
Stay beautiful!

Congrats!
