RE: Getting personal, reflecting on my self-neglect
This is wonderful! I wish I could upvote it multiple times 👏🏾 I can so relate to everything you wrote. For the longest I felt selfish to try and focus on myself so I always tried to make others happy and neglected myself. As I got older I began to see that my self-neglect was becoming a major issue in every aspect of my life. With that realization comes opportunity for growth so since then I have tried to focus more on myself. But like you said even when we try we can still result back to self-neglect tendencies. I’ve learned to take each day by day. Writing is one of my hobbies so getting my thoughts out and organizing them helps to keep things in perspective. I look forward to following your journey and learning from it!
I am so grateful for you taking the time to relate AND speak on it! I think so many of us get caught up without ever even realizing how they can be better. Most of the time even when we do think about how we can better ourselves it's what we are'nt doing for others or how we can minimize our bills or one of the many aspects of life that we face. Writing helps me a ton... I can complain to my paper and burn it up to let it go. I really love that I can look back on my writing and litteraly see my growth. I look forward to following along on your blog.
It was my pleasure! It is always refreshing to read wise words from a humble place of growth. It can be hard being transparent but that transparency leads to healing. Thank you for writing such a great piece and having great feedback. I look forward to your future posts!!
