Cluttered.

It's not a one-time decision to make.

You don't just wake up one day and suddenly all your problems are gone and what seemed impossible to carry yesterday is easy to accept now.

Healing is the process itself. Healing IS the struggle.

It's looking in the mirror and internally crying about what you see, but resisting the urge to change it.

It's days where you eat a whole plate and take seconds and thirds and snacks, but it's also especially the days where every bite feels to much, but you keep chewing.

It's when you are feeling like a failure, like you're not strong enough, but you still keep on fighting.

It's buying that dress you were so afraid to wear, it's ordering that burger, it's taking that one size up because damn, how good it feels to be able to actually breathe in your clothes - right?

Healing, to me, is essentially bravery. By choosing to not give up, you choose yourself. You choose life, with all of its struggles and beautiful tragedies, over and over again.
