I’ve come to realize that being single is not a reflection of my worth or desirability

Keywords: love and relationship , falling, in, love , love, blogs , love, quotes , love, stories , relationship, advice

I can’t help but wonder if there’s something I’m doing wrong or if there’s something about me that’s just not clicking with potential partners. Maybe I’m too picky or maybe I’m not putting myself in the right situations. It’s hard not to overanalyze and question every decision I’ve made in my love life.

A lot of the inner turmoil for me occurs when I think that what I want is going against what somebody else wants, or even what somebody else wants for me

Keywords: desire , podcasts , self-acceptance , selflove , women

This other thing i’ve been struggling with is sharing about my new project with my family and friends. I so want to tell them, so that I can celebrate with them and share my happiness and excitement with them, but I’m scared that their opinions or “feedback” or suggestions will get in the way of my creative process and doing what I really want to do — the thought in my head of “what will ______ say?” Stops me from living my authentic truth, unapologetically, because what if someone doesn’t love or accept me for it?

I’m confident in my own ability to rescue myself

Keywords: {0}

I will choose happiness. I can and will be happy again, but I will only truly be happy while I am being my own authentic self. I can already tell that it will be a challenge to let go of those feelings that come over me anytime I feel like I need to rescue someone, but I know I have it in me to fix this. After all, I am now aware and can acknowledge all the ways that codependency shows up in my life.

It is SO easy to lose yourself when you’re with someone

I have begun to realize that I actually really like myself. I don’t mean that in some arrogant, I’m awesome way. I like that I can make people laugh, I like that I can do things by myself, I like that people come to me for advice, I like that sometimes all I want to do is lay in bed and read. There’s a saying that says you can’t love someone else until you love yourself. While I don’t entirely agree with that premise, I do think that you need to know yourself and what you stand for before you can be in a fulfilling relationship. If you don’t fully know you, how can you expect another person to?

I was advised NOT to be in a romantic relationship for at LEAST a year into recovery

Keywords: recovery , anorexia , bible , catholic , christianity , faith , family , fitness , god , healing , jesus , life , love , prayer

I finally understand now, why. Because I had to have a total and complete control over taking care of myself, my needs, my recovery, my self worth. I needed to be airtight, steady, totally and completely bulletproof to any lingering “ED issues” before I could invite someone else into my heart and relinquish control over many of those emotional areas.
