My Story Part 10/20: Finding My Place In The World

Here is Part 10 of my story!! :)

Hey everyone, here’s Part 10 of my story!! We’re halfway there!! :)

In the last part, I talked about my anxiety and depression and the impact they had on me. I left off by saying that next, we will be exploring my journey to heal and grow from that. That’s what this part is about!! I’m also going to be talking about my journey to find my place in the world. Let’s do this!! 🤗

About three years ago, my anxiety and depression were at their peak, more intense than they had ever been. I knew I needed to do something to get my life back. This was also around the time that I had been starting to get more into meditation and I had been doing some deep inner work to explore the parts of myself that had been hurt and broken. I felt the deepest parts of my soul calling out to me, badly hurting from all of the times I had neglected my needs.

I was in so much pain. So I did something that I’d always been scared to do... I opened up. I reached out to some close friends and family members and shared what I was going through. This was scary at first but I received so much love and support, and that helped me immensely. But I realized that I needed to heal my own soul by loving myself fully and unconditionally.

So that’s what I did. I reflected inward, and went deeper than I ever had before. And it was scary, because what I found was a lot of pain and brokenness. But I committed to myself, right then, that I would love myself no matter what. And then... something clicked inside of me. I realized that if I could love myself in this broken, painful state, I could love myself all the time, no matter what. And with that, a weight lifted off my shoulders. This revelation brought me a profound sense of peace and euphoria. I had not fully healed myself, but I knew right then that I had started a beautiful new journey.

And I’m happy to say that I am well on that journey now!! I’m so excited to share with you all my path forward, and how I continued to heal and grow. Thank you all so much for being part of my journey!! I love you all... LET’S DO THIS!!!! 🤗❤️😍🥰💕💞💝💖 #MyStory #MyLife #Part10 #FindingMyPlace #FindingMyPlaceInTheWorld #Healing #Growth #Love #BestFeelingEver
