Life isn’t perfect yet, or maybe not the way I once imagined it, but it’s definitely better than before. This peaceful silence feels like heaven. Maybe I haven’t gained much, but I’ve removed a lot of toxicity and negativity from my life. I feel safe, protected, and rooted in the present moment. I forgive and let go of everything that holds me back from becoming new. I like having quality people in my life, so I surround myself with those who love, appreciate, and accept me for who I am. Their love, support, honesty, and loyalty make life easier. But no matter how many people love you, you should never stop loving yourself. I always remind myself that I have a responsibility toward myself.
Sometimes old memories and trauma return. Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever be alright. But then I remind myself that if I’ve made it this far, I can go further. I have faith in myself. I am strong and brave enough to handle whatever comes next. Now I choose where to give my time and energy because if I waste them on things that don’t matter, I won’t have enough left for what truly does. I’m working on my dreams, doing what I love, and accepting myself the way I am. I no longer care if I don’t fit into someone’s frame. I know I’m different, and I’m perfectly fine with it.
My mind and body are my responsibility, no one else’s. My mental and physical health are my priorities, not people’s opinions. I keep reminding myself that I am not responsible for everything or everyone. I can’t fix every problem or save every person, and that’s okay. I let life unfold in its own way. There was a time when being alone scared me, but now I find comfort in it. I no longer count myself in groups. I live individually, fully, and freely. No one is responsible for my life but me.
I use my alone time to grow, to reflect, and to recharge. The journey of growth continues, and I can feel the changes happening within me. Sometimes they make me uncomfortable, but I know discomfort means transformation. I’m willing to see where I need to change, how I can improve, and how I can become better. I am grateful for this life, grateful to be exactly where I am.
