Life is still not perfect, or maybe not the way I wanted it to be, but it’s definitely better than before. This peaceful silence feels like heaven. Maybe I didn’t gain too much in life, but I removed a lot of toxicity and negativity. I feel safe and protected, rooted in the present moment. I forgive and let go of everything that holds me back from doing something new.
I like to have quality people in my life, so I surround myself with people who love me, appreciate me, and accept me for who I am. Their love, support, honesty, and loyalty make my life easier. But no matter how many people love you, you should never stop loving yourself. I remind myself that I have a responsibility toward myself.
Sometimes I feel haunted by memories and trauma. Sometimes it feels like nothing is going to be alright. But then I have faith in myself that I will make things alright, because now I know I am strong and brave enough. If I can come this far, then I can go further. I choose to believe in myself.
Now I choose where I give my energy and time, and where I don’t. Because if I give my energy to things that are not worthy, I won’t have time or strength left for the things I truly want to do. I am working on my dreams and doing something I really love. I accept myself the way I am and shut down all the voices telling me who I should be. I don’t care anymore if I don’t fit into your frame. I know I am different, and I’m okay with that.
My body and my mind are my concern, not anyone else’s. My mental and physical health is my priority, not what people say.
I keep reminding myself that I am not responsible for everything and everyone. I can’t do everything for everyone. So I stop worrying about people and things and let life unfold its own way. There was a time when being alone scared me, but now I feel comfortable with it. I don’t count myself in groups anymore. I am living individually on this planet. No one is responsible for my life but me.
I use and enjoy my alone time. I know the journey of growth is still going on, and I can feel the changes. Sometimes these changes make me uncomfortable, but I know growth will make me stronger. I am willing to see where I need to change, how I can improve, and how I can become a better person. I am grateful for this life. I am grateful to be exactly where I am.
