Hey guys,
Today’s topic, ‘how have you changed over the past 2 years’.
DRASTICALLY!!!!
I really have. I came out of a bad relationship, with no self confidence and I just hated everything about myself. Mental abuse is just as bad as physical abuse and when somebody can make you feel that low and make you hate yourself then they are certainly not worth your love and affection.
Over the last 2 years, I have stopped letting people walk all over me. It’s ended a friendship 😦 but definitely for the better.
I have stopped judging people based on their appearance and opinions. This is something that really gets on my nerves! I don’t like when I’m in a persons company and they take the piss out of someone because of how they dress or how they act. My mother always told me ‘if you don’t anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all’..amen!
I’m certainly more confident. After the relationship ended, I had trouble meeting new people as I had become shy. This was obviously no good when I started my new job and we had to do team building exercises. I gradually gained my confidence back and wouldn’t think twice about standing on a table singing ‘the hiiiiiills are aliiiiive!!!!’
Probably the most significant change in me is that I am now comfortable with my appearance. Being told that ‘you look fat’ or ‘you need to lose weight’ really does make you hate yourself. There was a time where I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror without crying and I’m not exaggerating! Now, I couldn’t give a shit! I know I’m not fat. I am a healthy weight and I take care of myself and if anyone ever told me that I was fat ever again, I’d laugh at them.
Overall I’m a lot happier, independent and I honestly love my life and everyone in it. Never again will I be put down of made to feel like I’m worth nothing. Don’t ever let anybody make you feel bad. They don’t deserve you as a partner or a friend if they do. Everybody is beautiful and everybody is unique and it’s none of your business.
Thanks for reading, sorry this is a bit of a serious post.
Peace, love and unicorns!
