My eyes are wide open
I’ve struggled with #selfworth my entire life.
Not being enough…
not attractive enough
not thin enough
not smart enough
not accomplished enough
not spiritual enough
the list goes on
My #breakthrough came when I realized I was the same age my mother was when she died. It was like a #neardeathexperience for me.
I’m so #thankful for it. That moment stripped me of everything I thought I was. It left a blank slate.
My #mind was the only thing that changed.
This fresh #perspective led me to certain people, books, blogs, videos, and information I didn’t know about before.
I found #strategies to help me realize that I am worthy of love and belonging. I am worthy of living a #fulfilled life.
Every #resource I stumbled upon led me to the next. 5 years later I don’t even recognize my former self.
It doesn’t even feel like this lifetime.
I am still haunted by the ghosts of my past from time to time. But now I have strategies to help those ghosts to Rest In Peace.
Being present, journaling to expel all the bullshit, meditating to clear all the cobwebs, and praying get the guidance I need.
I love my life, I love myself, and I love the path that I am on.
Thank you god for finally giving me #clarity! For finally opening my eyes!
My eyes are wide open!
