Not saying I’ve got it all figured out or anything. I still mess up. I still doubt myself a lot. But today I just sat there for a second and thought… wow, I’ve actually changed.
I used to keep everything in. Let people say whatever. I used to smile and agree just to avoid drama even when something hurt. But now, I stand up for myself more. I speak even when my voice shakes. I walk away from things that drain me instead of trying to fix everything all the time.
It’s not like it happened overnight. Just small decisions, tiny shifts, and somehow… I ended up here. A little stronger. A little softer, too.
So yeah. I’m still healing, still learning. But I’m not who I was and for once, I’m kinda proud of that.

I’ve really come to appreciate the baby steps. I realized wtf happened in that interaction within hours rather than days! That’s progress. Speaking up in the moment is huge, and if I’ve done it once I can do it again.
Keep it up lady. I’m right there with ya.
