There is a big difference between recognizing mistakes and regretting them. I have made a lot of mistakes. But I regret very few of them, because mistakes are part of what got me to where I am now.

I knew I matured when I realized every situation doesn't need a reaction. I just accept shit for what it is, learn from it and move on.

Change is good. Something I have to constantly remind myself

[blackpeoplemeethistory]

Don’t hang out with people who don’t love you. Don’t try to impress people who aren’t worth it. Don’t try to win people over who aren’t worth it. Focus on yourself, and focus on the people who are really awesome and who love you. Don’t hang out with people who make you feel like shit. Don’t spend your energy on them. There is so much pressure to be part of the right thing: well, you should create the right thing. If you don’t see it, create it. If you don’t see what you want, be the change you want to see.

I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: "Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.

Forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, ‘You’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.’ It’s saying, ‘You don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.

Like wildflowers; you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.

Recovery is not a test. There is no “pass” or “fail” There is no “right” or “wrong” No one is standing over judging every move that you make; only your disorder is criticising and comparing you and your decisions to other people.

Recovery is a way of life. It is...
