By prettyarbitrary May 21, 2017 #and come out the other end, #and it's like you don't know yourself, #and now you need to meet yourself again, #but some of it is just that none of us ever stand still, #but you can take your time, #it's a process, #it's because you moved while you weren't looking, #people, #psychology, #some of it is that the events changed you, #this was such a breakthrough for me, #this!, #when you go through trauma, #you can't find yourself, #you just changed while you weren't looking, #you're not broken, #you're not less

Do me a favor okay?
Stop trying to go back to who you were before. Before you were raped, before you got sick before an eating disorder took over your life. stop trying to be who you were five, ten, twenty years ago. Before the mental illness took over, before he died, back before your parents split or you lost your best friend.

You are NOT the same person as before. You never will be again. Give up the idolization of “before” and be who you are now. Be the you AFTER.

Thank you
