Glad it was you

my path of leaving you has been a circle—

For what it's worth... it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you've never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.

Sometimes we motivate ourselves by thinking of what we want to become. Sometimes we motivate ourselves by thinking about who we don't ever want to be again.

“Choosing sobriety has taught me An inner strength I never knew I had It has taught me subtle goodbyes And doors slammed shut Sobriety has taught me That the cure for loneliness isn’t found At the bottom of a bowl or bottle But in the chasam of your heart It has taught me the beauty of the void, And exactly how to fill it: There is love for myself, That looks like grace and forgiveness There is strength in choosing being alone, Without sugar coating the pain of my insecurities Sobriety has taught me I am an unbreakable whole I do not need people or drugs to distract me, Just a pen and a paper, Free to create my own reality”
