Everything’s Otay!

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

One of the hardest and biggest decisions I ever made was to cut off toxic family. I’ll admit, I did a lot of crying, reminiscing over memories, and of course, missing them. But, over time, accepting what they did to my peace made it a little easier to let go. I still miss them from time to time, but I made a conscious decision to better myself and finally put myself first. I didn’t realize how much I was being held back, but after letting them go, it’s been freeing. I’m proud of myself for all the progress I’ve made and for making this decision for the sake of my peace and future. I won’t allow myself to be in a similar situation again. I’ve learned, I’ve grown, and I now know the signs.

I wrote an article a couple of years back, thinking I was ready to share my story and experience, but I wasn’t. I was still wounded and hurt. But, after taking this time to heal and process what I’ve been through, I’m now ready to share my side of the story. I’m happy about my growth, and I’m continuing to put myself first. I’ve learned so much about myself over the last few years, and I’m blessed to have people and My Favorite Person by my side to support me and encourage me to grow and apply what I learn. It’s DEFINITELY a tough journey, a lot of crying, accepting and letting go, but it’s worth it. And there’s still more work to be done because there’s always room for improvement. I’m excited to see what the future holds for me.
