So, I win another round with this - and I know it will come again - but I'm always ready to go..fists up...weapons drawn. It may get the first punch..but it won't ever get the last.
A Little Less Modesty
Keep being you. Keep shining your light. Keep walking. Keep breathing. You are an angel without wings - you are beautiful - you are worthy - and I love who you are.
A Little Piece of Red
I trusted you above all others to never pull the "you're better off and I'm going to help you see that" card because you swore you never would. You did it anyway.
Breaking
You remember that, right?
And So We Meet Again
Keep going. Strive to be happy. I will meet you again at every crossroads and I will remind you of how amazing you are at each turn.
On the Flip Side
I do love myself with all of these little imperfections and moments of uncertainty. It might not always look like it, and sometimes I might forget it, but there is a flip side to every coin. Every rose to every thorn. Every sunrise following a sunset. I am eternally a child of the crossroads and I wouldn't change a damned thing about it ❤
Pay Attention
Remember that Hyde was there under the surface the whole time.
What Do You See?
I stumbled for an answer for what felt like an eternity, desperately glancing back up at myself and then back down at the floor, waving my hands to show frustration and sighing with exasperation before looking back up and with a slight shake of my head saying "Nothing. I don't see anything".
Transire Benefaciendo
I didn't have anything to prove to anyone but myself.
Diagnostics
I am feeling a lot better though. I don't know what it is about having an official diagnosis that made it easier to accept what's happening in my mind all the time, but it does. It gave me a goal post. And I'm not going to fight getting the help I need anymore.
