Recovering.
Thank you to everybody who has helped me, saved me and encouraged me to get to this place, and those who continue to listen and understand. Family, friends (animals included๐) teachers, and professionals. I love you. A girl once terrified of life, herself and growth slowly flourishing into a girl excited to embrace life and all the opportunities!
Eating Disorders manifest their way into millions of peopleโs lives and the turmoil we experience can only be described as a constant war against ourselves and what we know is right, whilst obeying the wrong and viewing our bodies (and food) as our biggest enemies. An epitome of darkness and never ending feelings of failure categorised by the voices in our head. Not just a diet, or a phase. Fighting against our bodies that have issued us with energy, advanced our first steps to waking or dancing, allowing us to hug and to learn.
Although I am not quite where I want to be, every day is a battle, but Iโm thankful to no longer be where I once was. Close to death and scared. Every day is a blessing and an opportunity to believe in ourselves more. Super excited to see what my next recovery chapter holds as I step out of quasi recovery and embark on the bravest (and scariest) mission of self love, body acceptance and happiness. Recovery is tough, but I am tougher๐
