I created this today for my personal news feed.

To not only let my FB friends know but remind myself of how far I’ve come in a year..

Now fully understanding the necessity for mental health care, including medication for real.

Knowing that I don’t have to have all the answers or solve all the problems of the world.

That a stay somewhere doesn’t end at a milestone, rather it’s whenever you have the tools you need to be successful.

Knowing that things change and you can put your trust in others to help you along the way figure out the next step.

Loving myself for all my flaws.

Knowing that there’s no race to get to where I want to go but I need to continue to do the hard and uncomfortable work that’s needed to get where I want to go.

Sometimes that’s taking life one day, sometimes one hour and even one task at a time.

But honestly I’m proud of where I am today.

I’m grateful and thankful.

I’m blessed and worthy.

I’m not stopping.
