Guys, I’m a hun who has experienced a lot of pain in life. Death, sorrow, suicidality. Heartbreak, burnout, bullying as a teen. Chronic illness, financial loss, loss of purpose. SO many things. And it all made me generally run sad, pessimistic, and anxious. But I’ve done A LOT of healing work on myself and I feel capable of facing anything life throws my way. I feel secure in my heart and spirit. I feel big and expansive and open and trusting of life and the love I have found in my life. I think it’s time to let go of running sad and wearing my survival on the surface of my skin, and time to run happy and optimistic, or at the very least temperate. When you’ve been sad for most of your life, you have to deliberately choose and teach yourself how to be happy. I’m ready to start 😊. For anyone who’s also had tough times in life, this one is for you xx
