2018 you were an ugly bitch. 

This year I discovered parts of myself I never knew. 

I learned I can’t ignore certain signs and live as care free as I always have… I really do have to protect myself at all times out in this big world, especially as the independent women I am. 

I learned I have to try waaaaaay harder to be okay, and that if I don’t try 24/7 I will fall back into my depression.

I learned how to let go of people. This one was a BIG one for me. I’ve learned that holding onto to people who do not benefit or vibe with me, (for myself) will be self sabotage. 

I learned (and hope to utilize more) how to fight shame.

I’m finally consistently seeing a therapist and working through my thoughts and emotions with her… she’s really cool, I think everyone deserves one like her. 

Finally getting my high school too, and it’s almost finished! Which is incredible, I can’t remember the last time my brain has felt this nourished.

What I believe may be the most important lesson I’ve learned… is it’s okay not to feel like you belong as long as you love yourself.
