everything happens for a reason

Caitlin, NJ, I love you

No, you aren't "behind in life".

But, it's okay to grieve the time you spent surviving. The time spent trying to figure out what was wrong. The time spent healing to become a person again.

It wasn't your fault.

i remember thinking that the only way to be loved was if i reinvented myself to be desirable. as it turns out, the person whose love i was seeking in the first place was myself, and the most desirable version of myself i could think of was a person who's happy, so i'm working on that instead.

“forgive all the versions of yourself that operated out of fear instead of growth, the ones that viewed comfort zones as safe havens and abandoned boundaries to keep other people happy, forgive all the versions of yourself that didn’t know that love begins with how you treat you.”

this is not wasted time. time spent healing and growing and letting yourself feel all the things is never wasted.

Never be afraid to start again. In life, we go through many cycles of births & deaths but what you take away is growth.

Even on your very worst days.

Heavy on putting myself first.

Heavy on working on myself.

Heavy on prioritizing my mental health.
