We have come so far.

Yesterday, I was reminded of how far I have come. I started to look at all the positive things I have accomplished so far, how much I have changed and grown into a confident young woman. I am not the same as I was a year ago. I am completely different. And so are you!

Our lives may not be exactly how we desire it to be just yet but there has been a change. Though you may be single right now,  you took the courage to leave that abusive relationship and not be a door mat anymore, doesn't that say something about you? You used to be heavily dependant on substances , boys and alcohol, but you left that lifestyle behind and have started to value yourself and become independent seeking true fulfillment that comes from above. Look how wise and determined you are to find something worthwhile.

You have overcome depression suicidal thoughts, laziness and many other things. Be proud of yourself. You have done what many people are afraid to do. That makes you strong, unique and special. Keep going. Remember where you came from, because that will drive you to remain on this road to change until the end, no matter how hard things get.

If we have overcome so much already, we can certainly overcome what we are facing now and what is to come. We are strong and we will make it.
