"It gets better"

I used to be suicidal, used to self-harm. I used to escape reality in any way I could, wether it meant drinking, sex, cutting myself or developing infatuation after infatuation, trying to give myself something else to focus on rather than my pain. I was convinced that if I loved the right person just the way they needed, that they'd give me everything I need for me to turn my life around. It's with that mentality that I found my ex, whose wounds mirrored my own, whose pain resembled mine. The one person who just seemed to get what it was like to be fucked up, who supported me and loved me in a way I had never experienced before. The person who motivated me to fight for myself. Simultaneously the person who broke me to pieces and had me doubt my worthiness. Ironically enough, him teaching me to fight for myself is exactly what led me to leaving him. I realized I deserved a love that was soft, understanding, kind. Someone who truly looked at me and felt as though I was just so perfectly made for them. Whilst recovering from my breakup, I have rebounded, I've experienced my first kiss since, my first date since, my first night next to someone else, my first shower with someone else. My first feelings with someone else. I've been searching for that love in every person I meet. Wondering, who was going to be the person to save me from the heartache I've once experienced? Who was going to heal the wounds my ex caused? Who was going to be the person who finally loved me right? I've made quite a few friends in the progress, who've managed to love parts of me my ex helped me hate. The messy, chaotic, unsure of herself, overthinking part. Instead of telling me to do better, instead of shaming me into changing it, they've accepted it, understood it, loved it, and told me again and again, how I am not wrong for who I am. That believing that I am wrong is what makes me wrong, it's what makes me search out of myself for validation and act out in the desire to fill that void I've had my entire life. It makes me prioritize others and leave me feeling empty, used, unimportant and uncared for. So I've recently come to terms with the fact that I'm a love/sex addict. I've been escaping taking responsibility for where I am in life by putting all my mental health issues on my romantic issues or on my friends, or lack thereof. To avoid facing the truth: *I am powerful*, I have all the tools I need to get to where I want to be in life, life changing decisions all rest in my own hands. I need to be my own saviour. I need to be the person who prioritizes me, who is kind and patient and compassionate with me. I need to be the reason why I heal or go back to therapy or start the process of going back to school for. My younger self needed someone to tell her that she was worthy, that her feelings were valid. She needed someone to guide her, to love her unconditionally, to discipline her. I am no longer a child, the person I need now, is me. I'm starting over from a such better mental place. I'm not suicidal anymore, I make enough money that I can learn to save, discipline myself and still go to shows and places that make me feel alive. I have friends who want to see me succeed. I have hobbies, things to look forward to, I know where I want to be and who I want to be. Life does get better, but you need to take radical responsibility for where you are- that's when you can start the process of loving yourself enough to get to where you want to be.

There is a time for everything under the sun... I met Gwen Mazer many, many years ago. She taught me a lesson a never forgot. I got her book. At that time I was in my late 40s raising teenagers and the book talks about women in her 60s and beyond. I started reading but could not endure until the end. At that time, I was caught in my own life roller coaster and couldn’t see beyond that. Now I am living my 60th, so I decided to go back to it. Many of these amazing women are no longer here but their life experiences are registered forever. This time I started a list of everything that resonates or I am still longing for... Here are a few so far: 1) Dance my own drum 2) Operate from intuition 3) Authentic self evolves over time 4) Trust myself on the inside 5) Move way from seeking the approval of others 6)Grow into forgiveness, of ourselves and others 7) Instead of GROWING OLD , we GROW INTO AGE, 8)EVERY WOMEN HAS HER OWN SPECIAL BEAUTY AND IT CALLS FOR US TO EMBRACE OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES. Are you ready to embrace your authentic you? #gwenmazer #imageatelier #middleagedwomen #maturewomen #wilmingtondelaware #selflovejourn #stylejourney #signaturestyle (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSgrR2sYzB/?igshid=1aqjcwxq0lm6v
