i need to remind myself that as long as i focus on myself everything will be ok. as long as i work on getting healthy, getting my body right and maintaining stability—everything else will fall into place. i have to believe that. i have to work on MY goals. i do believe that. i need to focus on me. i can’t worry what everyone else is doing. everyone else is not me. they don’t have the same mental disabilities as me, they don’t have the same upbringing as me, they don’t have the same experience as me. there is no fair comparison, so i need to not compare. i am me and i am on my own path. maybe i had more disadvantages than others. maybe it took me longer than others to come this realization. maybe i have burned many bridges along the way. but i am just as capable (and deserving) of having a happy, healthy, fun life. maybe i just have to jump through more hoops to get there, but that’s just the cards i was given. i can’t change the cards i was given, but i can decide to use them to my advantage. i will be stronger, wiser and more empathetic because of it. my past does not define me. my abuse does not define me. only i define me. i will not stand in my own way any more. i can be anything i dream of being. all i have to do is believe in myself. all i have to do is vow to never give up. vow to never compare myself to others. vow to be my authentic self and nothing less.
