It seems that often when we say we've dealt with something, we're trying to tell ourselves & others that we have, even if we actually have not.
Earlier this year, that was me. I thought I had dealt with something on my end, but I clearly had not as I started noticing quite negative impacts in different parts of my life, so I had to go back and figure things out again.

Now, even though I haven't forgotten about & I'm not "happy" or "okay" with it, I have at least moved on to where it's not making me feel negatively about myself.
