So hard to do at times but so necessary.

Thanks for the reminder that it's okay. :) xx

The other day I had just come back from swimming and had a missed call on the phone from a place who hadn't arranged with me first for a phone interview and I ignored it and didn't feel guilty for it either!

If they had arranged a date and time with me then fair enough but that's not on!

Today here it's been a nice quiet day in listening to music and catching up with the washing and catching up with French lessons and eating healthy food like a homemade seafood salad.

How have you been getting on?

It sure wasn't okay with my abuser...One of the things I wrote down (a couple years ago now) was "it is my God-given right to not be controlled". I wrote this at a time when I still thought I deserved what I got.

I can read something like this without getting triggered now! Sure I still react inside since it makes me jump to thinking about it, but I can look at these things with confidence.That's a nice reminder of how far I've come, so thanks for giving me the opportunity to see this!

I was abused, I try to forgive the abuser, but more so forgive myself.
