I’m now learning to just let things be.

I felt incredibly lost, and I was in a really dark place for a long time.

To be honest, I wasnt sure if I was ever going to be deserving of it ever again.

One day, I picked myself up, dusted myself off and started to rebuild my life again.

I had good days, I had bad days, and I had really bad days.

But I kept on going because to be completely honest, I really had no other choice.

For months, I didnt even want to look at myself in the mirror every morning.

I didnt even recognize the person I was anymore.

I wanted to replace the incredible feeling of being wanted.

The feeling of being appreciated.

I gave and gave, until I had nothing else left to give.

The problem is I thought I needed something or someone to fill that void for me.

I dont need anything or anyone to fill that empty void anymore.

The entire time the only void that was missing was the love and appreciation for myself.
