Shame + Alcohol
I didn’t know how to love myself or take good care of myself. I was beyond lonely and so sad. I didn’t have any of the self care/mental health tools I have now. And I just look back and want to give that girl a hug. Tell her that she’s not bad and it’s not her fault. She was lost and needed help. I’m grateful that I can give her that love now.
Don’t Talk About “X”
I too am scared of others’ judgment and opinions. And I also crave connection. I love being truly seen and heard and understood. As I know we all do.
