Hey guys!
Wow, it has been a very long
time since I posted last. I have been extremely busy with school, and it has
gotten pretty overwhelming. So far, my biggest stressor is in my online Civics
class, and I have been really struggling with it and understanding the
material.
Other than that, things have
been going really well. I have been in a very good mood, and I have been trying
to enjoy life as much as possible. I am finally feeling like a normal person, doing
normal things like hanging out with friends, spending time with my family,
getting back into exercise and doing things that I enjoy. I still have ups and
downs, but I am using my DBT skills to cope with those things (flashbacks,
eating disorder). Basically, I am trying to live my life to the fullest-because
I am very happy to be alive! We all know how much I love to incorporate songs
into my blog. The song that I have been listening to a lot recently is “I Lived”
by OneRepublic. I believe that this song means that you should actually live,
rather than just breathe. Do something spontaneous! Go on an adventure! Try out
a new hobby! Life is what you make it, so you should make it great, because you
only live once. I feel like I am finally starting to do that with my life.
Being close to death with an eating disorder, and having a suicidal past, and
now having a healthy mindset has caused me to see things more clearly. I am
beyond grateful to be breathing, and I am going to do what I can to make my
life as meaningful and memorable as possible.
Lastly, I just wanted to say
a huge thank you to all you who are reading my blog, commenting, and showing
support! Without you all I may not be able to say that I am happy to be alive.
I am amazed by each and everyone of you, and I wanted to share some news: I
reached 5,000 views on my blog! Thank you so so much.
Stay Strong!
