What are the things I want to take with me and what are the things I want to let go of [?]

Keywords: personal , should you care , beginnings , blog , endings , heartbreak , new year

I found myself for the first time rather suprised about the fact that there wasn’t much that I wanted to take with me into the new year. I spent the last few weeks really grieving Mark and Cloud and their absense in my life. While everyone has told me how astonishing my growth has been in the last 2 years I’m only really now beginning to see it for myself.

What do you want a listener or reader to do with what you’ve said? Tell them. People are more likely to act when you’ve made the right action obvious.

I am no longer asking myself what I should do that will make my parents proud, but what I want to do that will make ME happy

Keywords: {0}

Embracing this crazy but wonderful journey and not obsessing over the future. What success looks like to me now is much healthier, much clearer, and a whole lot of who I am and who I aim to be. It could still change though, for as long as I’m growing as a person.

I want to advocate that it’s okay to take things slow

Keywords: {0}

I do know there are many out there , like me, wanting to take things slow but too afraid to drop out of the race around. Many out there who think maybe if I put effort the next two days I can’t relax t he next three. But honestly that’s not how it works. All the five days need a balance. And it’s okay to be slow. You aren’t competing with anyone. You’re just getting yourself better. You’re growing. And that’s what’s important. YOUR GROWTH.

A lot of what I’m working on is retraining habits I picked up over time and building new ones

What I’ve shared are the biggest relatable lessons but there are many other things I’m learning about myself. If you’re interested in pursuing therapy, I hope you move forward with it. Really consider who you would want to work with, how much it will cost and is it within your budget, and your availability to attend regular sessions.
