I wish I knew this before I got married.

Getting Married is not a guarantee that you won’t feel lonely ever again.

Please don’t get me wrong, my husband loves me unconditionally and does everything to make me feel loved and happy. ❤

I have been bullied since I was a kid (even my own family bullies me) and as a result, I grew up becoming an emotionally strung-out adult, who sought approval from everyone for how I looked and behaved. I wanted to be perceived as someone who was resilient and had it all together. At age 29, I've learned the art of managing my emotions, healing my inner child, and trying to reprogram the things that I learned growing up in an emotionally unavailable household. It has been challenging to get to this stage since it requires you to look deeply within yourself to recognize what is wrong, attempt to fix it, and understand that there may have been other ways you could have handled the situation in the past thinking things might turned out different.

I've been very vocal and open with my husband about my anxiety, mental wellbeing, and family issues, but I do not often feel as though he hears or comprehends the void I'm experiencing inside. 

There are days I feel light but most of the time, I feel empty, just like tonight.

how to remain the only girl of your dreams

always move in silence.

don’t internalize people’s actions toward you.

redirect your negative self talk.

routinely pamper yourself.

show don’t tell.

utilize all of your character traits.

set standards and enforce them.

determine and display boundaries.

know it’s a privilege to be associated with you.

go after what you desire actively everyday.

nurture your spirit.

be selective with the company you keep.

side effects of being numb due to mental illness:

not crying for weeks and weeks on end until one day, you’re breaking down over something that isn’t actually worth getting upset about

not being able to tell if your feelings for people are platonic or romantic or if you’re just lonely

instead of caring too much, you don’t care at all about anything

not being able to process anything going on in your life and when you try, your brain stalls out

losing your train of thought every five seconds, so when you try to have a conversation, you have to pause and remember what you were trying to say

word vomiting

mind “static”
