You are the only person you have to compete again, and that way of thinking has damn near saved my life.If there’s one thing that can ruin a first date and ensure a woman’s first impression of you is a bad one, it’s crappy conversation. I would constantly think "how will i ever catch up?" I have learned life is not a race, you can do things at your own speed because your only competition is you.

I spent most of my life looking at pictures of the "perfect" people on social media, and feeling behind in my life. NO ONES and i mean NO ONES life is as perfect at they portray it to be. As humans we tend to only show the good parts of what is going on in our lives, and leave out the messy. It's okay to have days where you don't want to do anything, because you woke up that morning, you took a breath and decided to keep going. I have learned that it's okay to do things that make you happy, that fill you with joy, and love, and wonderment.

Don't get me wrong, I would spend days off in bed, watching my favorite tv shows, but i wouldn't do things that poured back into me, so I was constantly feeling drained. Self care is something I have preached about my whole life, but never really practiced. I have taken a step back from my people pleasing and have learned to say no, when I am to drained to offer assistance anymore. I have learned to hold to my boundaries, and that the word "No" is a complete sentence. I have learned to use my voice, and speak up for myself. Since then, I have slowly started being more authentic in who I am, and not hide parts of me just because of people's shitty opinions.Īt 25 i feel more like myself than I ever have. I knew my parents would be supportive, but that didn't make it any easier for me to vulnerable and raw. I picked up the phone and called my mom, and uttered the words "I'm queer" through tears. I came out to my parents when I was 25 years old. I was told growing up that being anything but straight was such a sin, and that i would spent my life in hell because of it. Coming out was not easy, growing up in the church made it scary, and hard. I came to the realization that I had been hiding a part of myself for my entire life. I am still searching as I believe we never truly know who we are even when we "grow up". I spent months discovering who I was, and what I wanted to be.

I did not know who I was outside of a relationship, nor did I know how to be on my own. When I separated from my husband I was terrified of what would follow. I am 25 years old and just now learning who I am. It was incredibly overwhelming and breathtaking it was my first time in love. I was swollen with delight that I had someone so special, that I had you, constantly reminding me that happiness is tangible.

It was amazing and young and fresh and exciting and you were sweet and funny, and just like me in so many ways. I hadn’t yet met someone I could truly call my best friend or really give my whole heart to but you changed everything for me you were that person. And to end a wonderful weekend, you invited me to be a significant part of your world and thus our crazy relationship began.īefore you, I had never been swept off my feet, but then you came along and I was blindsided by love. I was introduced to all of your friends and your drunken ways. In one weekend, we spent over 24 hours confined in a car together, subject to heart-to-hearts and victims to not-so-awkward silences. You showed me your world and I handed you my heart.
