Dear self, I know you struggle sometimes but in case I don't tell you enough, you're beautiful. Thank you for being so strong and transparent, the world sees you even when you feel invisible. I appreciate your heart and your stubbornness. I'm so proud to know you have grown to acknowledge your worth. With love, Self You are so worth of life and love and when you give yourself that love, you can do anything. It works if ya work it!! I'm sorry, Body...for starving you, for ignoring your needs, for not respecting you, for purging, for hitting you and pinching you and cutting you. I'm sorry for causing you pain, for hating you, for wishing horrible things-sickness, pain,death, on you. I'm sorry for not acknowledging you. "One small crack does not mean that you're broken, it means you were put to the test and did not fall apart." A friend of mine from treatment sketched this and I thought it was just beautiful and had to share it! Your worst day in recovery is still better than your best day in a relapse. Recovery is going to suck sometimes! It can be painful, physically if you're re-feeding, and it's always emotionally painful. But in those moments of weakness, know you were strong enough to take the first step into recovery so you are definitely strong enough to finish it. |
