I just realized that I would’ve known this v toxic person for 6 years (give or take a day or two), to the day, but they’ve been out of my life for about 2 now, and like, it’s really crazy. I spent 2.5-3 years controlled by someone, told what to wear, who to be, and they pressured me into things I wasn’t ready for. It broke me for so long, and then I met people along the way who’ve helped me heal, and move forward. Do I have regrets, yes, do I wish I still had some of the people whom have left my life, sure. I miss the fun times that I had with those people, but that’s it. I’ve found better and greater places. I’ve felt higher highest, after the lowest of lows. Have I recovered all the way? No, but I hope that one day I won’t have the same difficulties and struggles that I still face. I’m still trying to get myself together, but it’s been wild. Sometimes it feels easier to mellow in your misery, than to recover. And last note, just cause everything seems like it’s good, doesn’t mean someone’s not struggling. I’m someone who keeps it very close to the vest, and very rarely admits to struggling. But with the anonymous of my account, I can vent a little bit without people I know, knowing. It’s my way of letting it out, and dealing with what I’m feeling. The last few days have been great- but mentally I’ve just had it. I can’t wait to go home, to the home I’ve made for myself.
