“We’re hungry for life, the hunger has just been misplaced.” 5 years ago today I moved to New York City for the first time, with plans to rid myself of my anorexia. I checked into treatment, and started the long and harrowing journey to recovery. Over the last five years, I have learned so many things - like the fact that everything takes longer than you want it to, it’s okay to make big mistakes, and that recovery will last my whole life, and that’s okay. I would not change one step of this journey, because it has brought me here. I am far from perfect. There are sad days, hard days, slip up days, and days where it feels impossible. But those are few and far between the joyful days, the grateful days, and the days where the world is full of possibilities. Recovery is hard work. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Every day you have to work at it. But it’s worth it. I can promise you that. ❤️ #edrecovery #recoversary #fiveyears #anorexiarecovery #recoveryisreal https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZVx0FBiqU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b4bnxy04bdhx
