my inner monologue has become so healthy and understand, i barely recognise myself at times

Love it
🤗
i seem to have a lot of fear and impulse withdrawal when it comes to accepting love at points, so i am working through it, and telling myself it is okay to be scared and feel vulnerable
i've been just working on myself a lot last couple months, which is why i've been away a bunch
It’s not an easy position to be in, especially if you have been hurt or taken advantage of by someone before. It takes time to trust yourself and your instincts, let alone someone else.
It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve been working on it and have found success. We all need to do it, although many don’t like to talk about it.
You bringing it up, being vulnerable in an open way here, demonstrates to me that you’re doing well.
it'll be okay 💜
at times like these, when i tend to have sudden thoughts like these, i just tend to say to myself "it's okay, you're doing well" and take some deep breaths.
i can't change my past but i can do my best to work through these things 🤗
We can’t. You have many more chapters to write.
My story had a terrible beginning but the ending will be written in my children’s heart.

i have a couple really incredible people by my side helping and supporting me, who i'm incredibly thankful for 💜
i am so so happy for you 🤗

tiny steps at a time, eh? 🤗
i tend to impulsively overthink at points, that almost demands me to "withdraw!" as the first impulse, but then i understand that i am just scared, and it's gonna be okay 💜
patiently working through it, deep breaths help a ton
That sounds like wonderful growth, Tanel, I’m happy for you. 🫂💜 One realization that has helped me a lot through a similar time is that the opposite of anxiety ( from overthinking) is *trust*. So I begin by thinking of what I do trust and it makes my breath work much more efficient.
thank you so much samah 💜
at times like these i wouldn't even know what to trust, i just allow myself the time to breathe and say that it's okay to fear new things, and suddenly that really helps me
you're amazing 🤗
I hear you. You’ve got this. 🫂

This is what success looks like
couple really special and incredible people have been incredibly vital to this
learning how to accept compliments and actually say compliments and show care towards others has been huge for me
love is really hidden behind banter and physical action + gift as a language here, so actually being open about it has helped me unlock something new in me
