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

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

Keywords: divorce , love , valentines day

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.

Your intimate relationship with yourself is extremely important and should be nurtured prior to nurturing other relationships

Keywords: philosophy , friendships , intimacy , love , relationships

Intimacy offers a way for humans to connect authentically, and our authentic selves should not be limited to experiencing intimacy with a sole romantic partner. Expecting one relationship to fulfill every type of intimacy we crave is the emotional manifestation of putting all of our intimacy eggs in one basket. Developing intimacy in every relationship we have, beginning with ourselves, can fulfill our needs and desires in a way that doesn’t place responsibility for intimacy solely on our romantic partners.
