Every day I'm learning to love myself. I'm learning that mistakes are part of the process and that

every day won't be perfect. I'm learning that I have so many things to be grateful for and so many

things that I can work on. I'm learning that many of the relationships and situations that I've been in

didn't serve me best, but I served myself better when I recognized that it was time to leave.

I understand now in this journey that everyone walks a different path and maybe they completed their

path before me but it doesn't mean that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. There is

much work in the way in which I am showing up right now.

I have learned in this journey that it won't look like yesterday.

It won't look like tomorrow, but I am so anxious for the future.

I'm learning in this journey to relearn some things. Maybe the things that showed up in my life

I thought was okay and now I'm learning that it's not. I'm getting ready to just take away all of

the toxic things that have shown itself to me. Now that I'm aware, I know what to do differently.

Now that I'm here, I'm walking in a space of love.

I'm walking in the space of grace and acceptance.

And I understand that I can't help everyone in this journey as well.

It's apparent to me that sometimes I gave without understanding what that giving was doing

to me because in my giving, sometimes nothing was given back to me.

In this journey, I'm learning to say no.

There are boundaries that need to be set in order for me to

understand my mental capacity and understanding what works best for me. I'm also learning that

boundaries teach people how to approach me, to know me, to interact with me or not. And it's okay if I put that up in order

to ease into this journey more. I'm learning that it's okay to stand up for myself. Every moment doesn't have to have an argument or contention, but you won't talk to me all kinds of ways and you won't treat me or demean me.
