A few years ago no matter what happened in my life.. I would act as if it was a crisis. It could be that I didn’t get a text back from someone, or it could be that I failed a test, or it could be a death in the family. No matter what it was and its severity, I would act like it was the worse thing in the world. For 3 years I have worked hard on changing this and my mind set. Instead of thinking the worse and letting it effect me, I start thinking right away what I can learn from this? Is it something I can change? What do I do next?
This past week I had a situation that could have done a lot of damage in my life. For so long I have worked on my self love and self care. I have realized that loving myself, my body, my mind, who I am.. is what is most important. There are people who do not care about hurting others, there is also people who will use you to get ahead in life. This can be family, friends, co workers.. really anyone. The situation I was in this past week was intentional by this person, and I think that is what hurts the most. But, I processed it, cried some, and then this past weekend I did self care and self love tactics that helped me realized I am what matters, not them.
I am blessed that I have wonderful family and friends, and also blessed that I have a guy in my life who knows that while I go through my own stuff and need space sometimes, he doesn’t question it and respects me. I am thankful I did not allow this situation to damage my heart or my mind.
