“If I quit now I’ll end up right back where I first began and when I first began, I was desperate to be where I am right now. KEEP GOING!”-unknown

I may not be where I want to be but I have put in some solid work.
The other night I got tears in my eyes when I read my journal entries from when I started. I felt all that pain all over again. I felt that scared girl who didn’t know who she was and felt unloved and looking for outside validation.

I remember drowning my feelings in alcohol and then hating myself even more. I remember not even knowing how to get out of that cycle.

Fast forward 2 years and look where I am now. I am by no means perfect but I have made so much progress. I am starting to learn what self love really is. I deal with my problems and stress in a much healthier manner now.

So when I think I haven’t come far, I have to remember there was a time I was DESPERATE to be where I am now. There was a time when I was grasping for anything to make me feel more alive. I CAN’T stop now.

Watch out world! I’m coming in HOT!
