It did get easier for me. It took along time for me to not feel ashamed by my past. Events that were beyond my control and even things that were. It will get easier.

But we can work on it. Sober and clean. I am in therapy and it’s helping. Slowly but surely. One day at a time and all that. X

This is me exactly. I’ve started working on it too. Our needs are valid and we are allowed to take up space.

"Mistakes are the opportunities life gives you to learn how to trust yourself more.
Think about it:
You don’t trust people because they’re perfect and will never do something that will upset your expectations, you trust them because you know that even when they make a mistake they’ll be responsible enough to do better.
That’s because trust is not built on perfection, it’s built on making mistakes and taking accountability to mend them.
Now say it with me:
My mistakes are the opportunity life gives me to learn how to trust myself more. "

P.S. Your value extends beyond your achievements; it’s rooted in who you are. Progress is more important than perfection anyway.
The best thing is: you’re more than capable of reprogramming your mind to see opportunities for growth where you would normally see fear & punishment.
