i fucking hate this, okay? i have body image issuesz whatever.
but i also have emotional issues that i have worked on and so far, well, they are going slowly but i have noticed progress.
i am now able to feel joy. i used to inhale or chuckle or whatever at posts, now i laugh like a child. i hear my own laugh and cry with joy for my own joy.
i am of course feeling negative emotions. i was afraid they would be stronger, but so far, they haven't. either i have found a way to deal with my frustrations, or my life has been more chill than usual.
i am not where i want to be, but i feel closer to it than ever in the past 2 years. and in some ways, i truly feel like i finally got my life back. or maybe finally had it handed to me for the first time in almost 30 years. just yesterday i was 25, i loved it, and then this wave hit me and i spent it just treading water. i'm surprised i'm alive. and i'm also happy. i missed being happy.
