“Sometimes my mind is magic. Other times, it’s the scariest place I know. When it lets me live, really live, it can be wonderful. But sometimes it still reaches for old versions of me I don’t want to be anymore. The version who could look at salad dressing and hear a voice in her head whisper too much. The version who would punish herself for softness. The one who used to believe she had to disappear piece by piece to be worthy of taking up space at all. The version who let ugly thoughts sink their claws in so deep she started questioning whether her life was worth living. It was. It is.”
