i've been taking steps to heal and have been maintaining good habits. still bummed that the person i thought loved me hasn't made any effort in a positive direction. but i can't hold myself back for him anymore. i can't bend in ways that make me uncomfortable anymore, or allow myself to tolerate something that doesnt help me grow.
i'm sick now so that sucks but i'm going to try not to let that hamper my progress. still gonna do everything that brings me closer to myself while recovering. i'm going to stay strong and be who i want to be, not some small shadow of a woman that a man wants me to be.
grateful today for anything that makes my throat not hurt! grateful for how good my hair & nails look, even if i'm sick at home and no one can see it. its a treat just for me today. <3
