You’ve come a long way baby!
Thats what I tell myself when I am able to eat a grilled cheese sandwich without a second thought. There was a time believe it or not that eating a single grilled cheese sandwich was a horribly daunting task. Sometimes I still struggle but I’ve really come a long way. I wish that some of the road bumps I’ve faced in the past year hadn’t happened, I’d never wish them on my worst enemy. But I know that I’ve grown a tremendious amount and for that I am thankful. I have become more forgiving and understanding of myself and of other people and I have learned that its ok to have moments of weakness.
Tonight I ate two grilled cheese sandwiches, in amazement of how far I’ve come. I still have many hurdles ahead of me, but I know deep down inside that the worst is over. I wish for myself strength on my continual journey to find peace and confidence that I can control the things about myself that I HAVE the power to control.
You’re one of the strongest people I know, so while you may feel like you’ve come a long way in a short period of time, I never doubted that you would. I always say not to expect anything, but I do expect the best from you… you’ve never let me down.
