Perseverance...
2024 was a year of massive changes in my life. January brought a realization that I could not continue living life in fear of the next explosion from someone I cared deeply about. I couldn't keep running with my kids every time this individual lost their temper.February brought trying to be flexible while holding the boundary that I was single...March brought my first surgery with a hard recovery and the realization that I couldn't maintain the boundary of keeping my personal property and body safe by myself.April brought becoming a lone home owner - officially! And turning to the very system I am terrified of to help keep myself safe.May brought a lot of unknowns and changes to the property as other's belongings (mostly) left. It also brought a new friend into my life.June brought more changes and stressors regarding my children.July brought rediscovering myself and trying to show myself self-love after years of never being allowed to take time for myself.August brought sadness and grief as I moved in my journey towards acceptance. It brought anger that I wasn't enough and fear that I would never be enough for anyone - especially not myself.September brought the closing of a chapter - and the urge to end my story completely. It helped show me the parts of myself that I still needed to heal, but I couldn't move past blocks within myself.October brought a new diagnosis - and new medication. It was a game changer, but it always brought a new reality for me to consider and adapt too. It brought farewells to some friendships and caused massive amounts of self-reflection.November brought lots of disappointments, lots of triggers, and lots of inner work. It brought a lot of anger with it as I came to realize that my intense guilt and people pleasing could have been helped years ago with this new medication... and accepting that not feeling guilty and so inconsiderate for taking time to myself was how most people feel... and again being angry because I had been working so hard in therapy when a simple pill made it so much better!December brought good things and bad things. Some triggers improved. Others did not. Learning that I could just be who I am, without feeling bad when people didn't choose me, and that that doesn't make me uncaring or unloving. In fact, I realized that letting go of nouns (people, places, things) that no longer match with me IS not only loving myself, but also loving them. *smile* December ended with a major life twist for me... and it took me some time, but I'm okay with it and it'll be a good thing either way it goes!
