healing for no one but me

by Jennae Cecelia

that is the thing about picking yourself up out of your own personal hell. no one sees how hard it was except you. all they see is that you, “finally got your shit together.”

it is ok to be in the dark. in the unknown. in the messy in-between. there is so much good that comes from working on yourself in a place that lacks full clarity.

a lot has changed since we last met. you would not even recognize me now. and i am so proud of that.

it is ok to trust your gut and protect your heart. it is ok to be a little selfish. it is your life.

some people can not handle the positive growth you are making. because it requires them to leave a comfort zone they have had with you for so long. it requires them realizing that you are no longer who you used to be and they do not really have anything in common with you now except past memories.

it is ok to be the only one rooting for your decision.

i deserve the small things. i deserve simple happiness.
