Remember to always love yourself
As I sit in my room with a glass of wine on day three of the Blizzard 2016 (at my house we got 38 inches, like what the heck!!) I am starting to become stir crazy, but I have done a lot of thinking. It’s hard to believe everything that happened was almost a year ago--who would have thought time would have moved so fast, and I did learn that time does heal everything. As I write this post, I am filled with joy, not only because I have learned a lot in 2015, but also because I have learned what healing is like. I realize the importance of eating too much ice cream over a breakup, I know that staying in bed and watching too many movies is a must sometimes, and I have learned we all have to heal in our own ways. Some of us not only say horrible things about our ex and slander them on the internet, some of us hold all of our emotions inside and deal with them ourselves, and some of us take the lessons we learned from an ex and use those as an experience for growth.
In the past year of 2015, the most important lesson I did learn is how to love myself. If I took anything away from my previous situation it is that I have learned loving myself is the most important thing I can do. I was so hard on myself for over a year, I always put someone else's feelings and happiness in front of my own, I lost site of myself and what made me happy. The first day I realized how important it was to love myself, was the day I truly started healing. Ice cream and movies can only fill the emptiness and fear for so long. It isn’t until you deal with the heartbreak,
stop blaming yourself, and learn to love yourself all over again will the healing begin. If I could give anyone advice about how to take something positive from a horrible situation, I would say: don’t let your brokenness allow you lose sight of what’s most important, and that’s loving yourself!
Much love,
