Our minds are really so powerful.. we can easily be our own biggest cheerleader, or worst enemy. Often, it's the latter.
Thank you for being honest here today.. I know many of us can relate to holding ourselves back and also inflicting the most damage toward our own mental well-being. Others may come and go, cause pain and leave.. but we're always stuck with ourselves. So when we struggle with showing ourselves kindness, it can be overwhelming and hard to 'escape'.
It sounds like you may have some emotional unpacking to do. Do you have anyone you can talk to about your thoughts?
