Read this again at the end of 2023.
2022 kicked my butt in many ways, it was a year filled with sadness, loss, betrayal and overall exhaustion. It was brutal.
It would be easy to never look back, slam the door and erase it from my memory but it would be a disservice to the people and things that I’m grateful for even in times of despair. It would also be unfair to myself.
On 2022:
♥️Ana came into our lives, I always wanted to have 3 kids. My wish was granted! And she is pure joy!
♥️ I watched my kids grow, healthy and happy.
♥️I laughed many times
♥️ I watched myself in 3 different TV shows
♥️ I started therapy, and with that healing started too
♥️I have learned, I have grown and I have grieved
♥️ I survived the hardest year of my life. I’m still here.
♥️ I found forgiveness
There was a moment during NYE dinner when I said “I’m so glad this year is over!” And Nico asked me why? He thought this year was amazing, Tala loved it too, they were actually sad it’s over because they loved it so much. And then it clicked, literally at the end of the year, the last hours…
I did it right, I tried and tried and tried and my kids saw it and felt it and they had an amazing year regardless of what I was experiencing, they never saw me in times of sorrow. I did it.
2023
💗 I will no longer shame myself for what I did in order to survive
💗I am worthy and deserving of healthy love, always!
💗No more people pleasing
💗No more giving chances to people who fail to show up and repair the damage
💗No more sacrificing things that are important to me in order to make others feel comfortable around me
