Things I've learned over this past year of my life:
It's okay to disagree with people.
It's okay to not want to do anything at all some days.
Trauma is hard. Recovery is hard. Feeling better is hard. Loving others despite that is easy.
I don't have to define myself the way others define me.
It's okay to feel anger.
It's okay to feel cheated.
It's okay to feel sad some days.
Therapy is hard, but worth it.
Things I need to work on in this next year:
Love yourself even when others don't show it.
It's okay to disagree with someone.
Your faith doesn't define you, the same way it doesn't define others.
Let go.
Stop relying on others to stay happy.
Enjoy what you used to enjoy, and what you long to enjoy again.
Not everything you do has to have monetary value.
It's okay to be proud of something you've done, even if no one else shows you.
I'm ready for recovery. I'm ready to feel happy again. It's time to move forward.
