JE 39: Growing as a Person

December 28, 2023 I am so ready for this year to be over. I don’t know if it is because the terrible year I have had or if it is just that I’m walled off… but I’m tired of letting anyone make me feel disappointed or sad anymore. I feel like I know what is…

I am so ready for this year to be over. I don’t know if it is because the terrible year I have had or if it is just that I’m walled off… but I’m tired of letting anyone make me feel disappointed or sad anymore. I feel like I know what is best for me and that is not good for me.

It isn’t anyone else. It is literally just me figuring out what I need to do for myself. What boundaries that I need to set in order to be happy. This time around I’m going to live for me. I don’t want to be in a spot where I’m so enamored with someone that I lose myself… Never again.

I’m starting to really like this person that I am slowly evolving into. I’m starting to feel a level of comfort in myself. I’m finally feeling more like I did before Robert died. I know that is weird and I don’t mean that I am feeling like a teenager. It isn’t that.

I am just allowed to be me, unapologetically, for the first time in many years. It is a good feeling in these waves of many emotions. It almost confuses me because I remember when I was comfortable in my own skin back then. Now I am just older. I greatly appreciate this. I want more of it.

I guess it is time for me to hit the sack. I hope you all have a wonderful night.

    Ash,
    You are on the right track when you say you want to be you, the real you and not change for anyone. That is the best way to be always. Never lose yourself to the benefit of someone else. Love yourself and then you can love someone else much more.
