It’s a long journey every day and I haven’t yet figured out how to remain here permanently. Because I never remember the steps I have taken, I find it hard to stay in the healthy spaces that I carve out. I hope that journaling publicly (albeit anonymously) will help me to work through this more productively. At least, if I think if there’s the possibility that even one person might be reading it, I will be more likely to hold myself accountable to posting. I do hope that it might help people with similar experiences to feel less alone and — perhaps — inspire them to continue their own journey. That being said, I’m doing this predominantly for my self.
