Hi everyone! I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting much. Well, maybe I’m not sorry. I have been busy! Busy healing. Busy recovering. Busy learning how to grow!

I have so many poems I’ve written sense my last post. However, I’m not sure which ones I’ll share.

The last time I made a post here, I was in an IRTS facility getting treatment for my mental health. I graduated and completed the program in April of 2022! And, in less than a week I will have 9 months sober! That’s right!! 9 amazing and wonderful months sober!

I’ve learned along the way, this year so far, that I need to do what’s best for me. I’ve had to let go. I’ve had to learn to let other’s in. I’ve been learning how to feel and accept emotions. Now, THAT is hard!

I’ve been learning that love is what heals. I’ve been learning what healthy is. I’ve been learning to love myself.

I’ve been working with my doctors, my therapist, my team. I’ve been learning how to listen to what my body needs. I’ve been learning how to listen to my own inner voice and listening to the guidance from those healthy people I look up to.

I’ve been learning how to accept when someone tells me they’re proud of me. Because, sometimes, I don’t feel proud of myself. Sometimes, I don’t see what other’s see in me. Sometimes, I see myself as too broken, too hurt, too alone.

Those are lies. Lies!

I’m learning that I am enough! I’m learning that I am confident! I’m learning that God loves me for me and that I am able to go to Him anytime, day or night, 3am; He is ALWAYS there!

I’ve been learning how to trust in myself and others. I’ve been learning that I am capable of so much!

Sure, I don’t have it all together and I can be a mess. Yes, I am human and I fail sometimes. What matters is ALWAYS getting back up!

I’m going to get off my soap box now. Thank you for reading! I hope this is encouragement for someone today. In Jesus Name!
