I was watching a movie.. It’s based on mental health and overcoming depression.. A specific scene caught my attention which I could just relate so much.. It was the scene where the therapist was saying that for feeling safe, you have to let go of all the fears... Fear of losing, being alone, fear of what will happen, how everything will turn out, what will I do... Well, I am talking about all the fears I have been living with.. They are haunting me like forever.. And, then he goes, you are living with this and they are affecting you in the worst possible way.. And, in order to escape, you tend to say goodbye to things before they can say goodbye to you.. More likely, you are scared to go through the same pains.. Believe me, these last two lines were just so relatable for me... That's what I have been doing.. My therapist had also pointed out this.. You have escape tendency.. Yeah, I do.. The most terrible part is the fear of facing the same pain... I have that.. That's how I grew the fear that it’s repeating... It’s just I don’t wanna feel that again.. It still haunts me... At the end he says, you should just let go.. Just say hi to your life and live it.. And,I could feel it.. It was a great movie... Planning to watch it again.. Never knew that a movie could help me find my depression patterns.. But, it did.. I feel pretty good and hopeful.. Life is indeed beautiful and definitely worthy of living.. My uncle had once told me, you know what life is like that... But, you can't just miss the chance of living this beautiful life... And, he was right... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe #hopeful

Scars are proof, you got better❤️

Honour your wounds
Sit with the pain
Celebrate your scars
For you have already won the battle

Day 3 on my job. Hoping today will be alittle busier. Just trying to get into this new routine of working. I'm not placing any expectations on me this time and I am reminding myself to be gentle. This is a big change in my life which I deserve, however I don't want to over do it either. Just blessed that I am in recovery today, and given a chance to give back to others struggling. Here's to a great Wednesday!

All i know so far-Pink

I was listening to this song by Pink and then i realised this is who i want to be, i want to be that person who sees that glimpse of light in the darkness, i want to be happy even in the darkest times. I want to be able to love myself even when noone else does. I still want to stand by myself even when ive made tonnes of mistakes, because , who will be, i can’t?

Here is my favourite verse feom the song, and i hope someone hears it from my perspective;

“You throw your head back, and you spit in the wind
Let the walls crack, 'cause it lets the light in
Let 'em drag you through hell
They can't tell you to change who you are
That's all I know so far
And when the storm's out, you run in the rain
Put your sword down, dive right into the pain
Stay unfiltered and loud, you'll be proud of that skin full of scars
That's all I know so far”

First day at new job

Starting my first day at my new job, really excited to see how this helps me grow as a person and show people more hospitality. I go into jobs not worrying too much about how much I am paid, while that is a necessity, but about how well the environment is. Do the managers actually care for their employees and want to help them grow as people? Do the employees love what they do? Are they able to support themselves? Pros and cons? Etc.
Really excited for the future. #hopeful #excited

Hopeful #hopeful #Faith #Loved # grateful #Healing #Unmasked

Today I’m just in a space where I’m able to see the brighter things in my life, and special mention to my bestfriend, I’ve known her for more than 16 years❗️, she’s the one person who understands the real unmasked me, I could call her , tell her I’m not okay and she’d simplify say , I’m listening and I love you🥹, she understands it all, I don’t have to be scared to seem crazy, she just gets me.

I called my two sisters yesterday, they are both not doing too well, but they are positive, these are the two people remaining that have known me for my two complete 26 years❗️ I love them

Everyone else just doesn’t get it, and it’s okay, I just need to focusthe energy that I have forcused on everyone else on me, I deserve that love❗️

I got a rescue cat, he’s incredible♥️, I hope that I can love him better 🥹

I have decided to love myself more, eventually when I have my mask off, i need to love the real me, even when noone else does, I’ve Got Me❗️

I told my boyfriend about my anxiety issues, I don’t think he understands, but he is trying, I greatly appreciate that♥️
