When I look back at the last few years, I really admire the woman I have grown into and the obstacles I have overcome. I am at peace with where I am today. I am truly grateful for the path I have chosen to follow. With that being said, there are still things I struggle with and it's an ever evolving process to continue to heal and grow. We all have parts of ourselves that we struggle to accept and it's so hard to fully love ourselves when there are parts of us that we don't necessarily like. For me, I have discovered that I am overly independent to the point that it's not always healthy and learning to allow others into my life is so difficult for me. I don't truly understand how to overcome this issue, but I am all too aware of how it affects my life and my relationships. I find it easier to put a wall up and dig my heels into the dirt of negativity, than allow myself to be vulnerable and, dare I say it, happy! I self-sabotage way more than I'd like to
