Recovery

I am a changed person.

Where I was once weak, now I am strong.

Where there has once been hurt, they now has healed.

Where I lacked vision, I have gained sight of my destiny.

I am so grateful for these shifts in my thinking.

I once again think that I can move mountains.

I dream of a beautiful future.

My days were filled with depression and gloom.

I was, very simply put, living to die.

My relationship with food was non existent.

My relationship towards myself was harsh and was killing me.

I hated myself and what had happened to me.

I was slowly dying...

and I didn’t care.

But I've decided now it the time to change.

I'm ready to conquer new mountains.

I'm ready to work as hard as I can.

I readied my heart for change.

Prepared to embrace knowledge

Prepared it to open up and be exposed.

To be cleaned up and filled with goodness.

I showed up.

and I am proud.

I set my sights to work as hard as I possibly can.

And that’s exactly what I'll do.

I showed up every single day.

Worked as hard as I could.

And I have changed.

I have reacquainted myself with me.

Reminded myself of my interests and likes.

Found for myself once again reasons to live.

I remembered that I do indeed have purpose.

That I have value.

That I mean something to people.

That my life has the capacity to change lives.

I am slowly,

Very slowly becoming proud of the person I am.

and who I am becoming.

I've been guided towards goals and achievements: that I didn’t even know that I had before.

I'm being counselled in directions that once again set my heart ablaze.

I got help navigating through the dark places, so that light could shine through.
