I was the victim in my own story.
Did I need help? Yes.
Did I get help? Yes.
Did I put in the work to get better? Also yes.
You see, there is no one coming to save you.
Most of the time we create our own narrative.
Most of the time we stay in the hole, WAITING for that fix to come. The truth is, you are your only fix.
What you consume matters.
What you eat matters.
How much movement you get matters.
Who you surround yourself with matters.
I stayed in my deep dark hole of despair for years. Looking for quick fixes, begging those around me to help, but they never would.
Why would they tho when they're in their own holes. When they're living their own story of victimhood.
Victimhood traps you.
You're stuck in the never ending cycle.
It's harder to say to yourself "Get up. Get your s**t together. Try harder. You have a reason to live. To be here"
I used to convince myself I had no reasons.
I used to believe I wasn't worthy.
When I got the help, put in the work, and added to my toolbox
- my hole of despair got smaller.
Little events could no longer rock me the way they used too.
I built my tool box up & I still continue to add new tools.
I take ownership over my own life & make it what I want it now. Even with all the bad that's occurred. Even with all those that I've lost.
Feeling isn't bad, needing help isn't the problem.
Sitting in victimhood and never taking ownership is what keeps us down 💥
