šØ vulnerability alert šØ just over two monthsā thatās how long itās been since the last time i purged. i didnāt think this day would come, yet little by little i made steps until it became a reality. i am full of gratitude for so many things, one of which is my perseverance. sure, itās annoying as fuck sometimes because it would be easier to just give up, but iāve never been one to take the easy route; itās not in my blood or my vocabulary. there have been some close calls, some strong urges, but iāve made it through relatively unscathed. so my advice to you? keep gratitude in your heart; it will surprise you.

this was my ātherapist glamour shotā at my last job. i seemed happy & put together, at least temporarily & on the surface. flash forward to now: many of the colleagues i graduated with are now fully licensed LCSWs & iām fresh outta treatment with what feels like nothing to show for it. iāve been comparing my struggles to othersā successes, which when you think about it is a skewed & unfair comparison to begin withā not to mention the fact that comparison in and of itself is unnecessary. doing so caused me low-key levels of anxiety & shame until i reminded myself that life isnāt a race to get 3,000 therapy hours, just like it wasnāt a race to get through grad school because ya gurl took 3.5 yrs for a 2 year degree. sometimes we all need a reminder to slow down, breathe, and remember that our worth is not contingent upon relative āsuccess.ā consider this your reminder today ā„ļø
