It’s Been A Long Time

A long, long time since I’ve been on here. About 3 years, specifically. Looking back at 19 I’m shocked, astounded, really, at the things I did and didn’t believe about myself. I thought I was so overweight, out of shape, and that my body really needed to change. There’s one photo I had sent to a new love interest at the time. His response was, “you are SO fucking beautiful,” but I didn’t believe it. There I was, using drugs to try to lose weight, exercising myself into the ground, stressed and scared beyond belief after this really traumatizing breakup I had gone through. The ex didn’t care that I was traumatized so badly, he didn’t even really know. I’ve since had and left an abusive relationship, gained weight, lost it, gained it again, and am recovering from those traumas. I’m insanely strong now, mentally, and physical strength is something I’m building.

I looked so great then, at 19. But here I was, thinking I wasn’t good enough. That I shouldn’t wear a bikini, that I needed to lose major weight, that I was fat and unattractive. Whoa. Wow. I mean I liked myself enough, but someone could have thrown a book at my head and yelled, “YOU’RE GORGEOUS AND VIBRANT AND HEALTHY!” And I wouldn’t have believed it. The only person who could have made me believe it was me and obviously that wasn’t going to happen. I still have the same kind of narrative now, kind of. The only person who could make me believe that I’m beautiful just eh way I am is me. And I am! So I’ve gotta drill that into my head. You can simultaneously love yourself while working to change yourself. I sure hope I can get that to stick.

I think it’s time for a new blog, too. I’ve learned so much, grown so much, and become someone both so different and so the same since I’ve last been here.

#Repost I love it. This explains exactly who I am. To anyone who has ever said to me "you think too much." To anyone who has ever told me, "you take things far too seriously." I'm thankful for you. And you are many. I'm thankful for the fact that you recognize that I think. I'm thankful for the fact that you see my awareness, the way I am tuned in to what this world really is, the way I want to turn heads and change it. I live in a society that tells me I think too much, simply because I want to change it. I am thankful for that. The world should shake in their boots when they see me, because with God as my witness, I will change it. And that's not a dream. It's a promise.
