With ups and downs through life...
Of course, that life is one big adventure with good and bad moments I don't have to tell anyone. We all have to deal with some great moments of happiness or serious setbacks, but how you deal with them is a completely different story.
For example, Mrs Stip's life on social media may seem fantastic, or you may secretly be a little jealous of my creative splurges and cooking skills. Yet behind this positive attitude, there are a lot of uncertainties and unprocessed trauma. A backpack that I've been carrying around for a long time and that I could keep hidden from most people.
And then suddenly. it doesn't work anymore.
That's where I sit. tired, exhausted, energized and sad. Realizing that it can't go on like this.
Staring into nothing, crying because the butter has become a lot more expensive, sobbing because something small has changed and I don't remember it all for a while.
I think it's great that you share this with us because I know how scary that can be. Put your backpack down once in a while, unfortunately no one can take it from you. but pick up those bright spots in your environment and remember that you too are valuable.
Nice to read that you are going to love yourself more and more. That is ultimately the ultimate key to recovery.
