｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡ ﾟ. October Will Bring Blessings.

So…a lot has happened since my last post, which explains my unplanned absence. I’ve been prioritizing other aspects of my life these past few weeks, which, admittedly, have been kind of rough. But, I’m, officially, back in school and ready to crush this semester. One of my goals is to make sure I don’t neglect myself in the pursuit of academic success, which is something I, unfortunately, did last school year. I mean…there were other things happening last year that contributed to me neglecting myself, but school was one of the major things. I still plan on doing well, but my approach is going to be a lot different this time around.

As for my fitness/health goals…not too much has changed. I’m still aiming to lose weight, but I’ve decided to change my mindset about certain aspects. For one, instead of waiting until I weigh a certain amount to wear certain types of clothes, I’ve decided to start wearing said clothes regardless. If there’s something I want to try, I’m just going to go for it. If I end up not liking how it looks…then oh well. I’m tired of holding myself back from different experiences because of my appearance (or, rather, because of how unhappy I am with my appearance). I deserve to be happy and live life, no matter what I look like and no matter what stage my body is in. To whoever is reading this…you deserve to as well.

Well, I’m going to go eat dinner, watch a show or two, work on some homework, and go to bed. Then, tomorrow morning, I’m hitting the gym. :)

the fact that you’re here, surviving, is enough. I’m proud of you for making it through

medications don’t work the same for everyone.

therapy doesn’t work the same for everyone.

self care doesn’t look the same for everyone.

mental illness doesn’t look the same for everyone.

recovery is a personal process and shouldn’t be compared to anyone else’s. we are all healing from different things. just because someone else says, “my life has been bad too, and i got over it”, that in no way means you’ve tried less. you will grow at your own pace.

September will be filled with happiness.

September will be filled with blessings.

September will be filled with positivity.

September will be filled with progress.

September will be filled with kindness.

September will be filled with opportunity.

September will be filled with love.
