Badass.

Today is almost over and I couldn't be happier for that!   The past 24 hours I've been an emotional mess, allowing fear to override everything that I've learned in the past 3 1/2 weeks.  A simple function was being held tonight at one of the schools and this triggered my mini relapse. I thought I was at a point where I could determine what I was thinking and feeling were just thoughts and emotions and they weren't me, my true being.  Boy was I wrong!!!    I'll admit that it surprised me, I honestly thought I'd be ok with looking the past in the eyes, but it looked back with love and care and I realized it's still too raw and painful.  I still ache and yearn for the past, wanting it to become my future.

The thoughts kept arising in my head that I had one chance and I fucked it up.  I had one chance at happily ever after and it walked away.  I allowed the voice inside of me to convince me that I needed someone else to be whole, that I needed another to comfort me and that i needed someone else to love me.  I need, I need, I need.....because going alone tonight wasn't what I had planned and I needed to feel, like enough.

All day that voice has been negative and nagging and all I really needed, was a reminder that I am strong, I am brave, I am resilient and I am enough.  Sally, everyone needs a Sally.  She nudged me to answer my own questions of need, she reminded me that I have fought hard to be where I am and she told me to sit with my head held high and say to myself "I am one badass girl sitting here".   Haha.  I politely told her I was done with my bad ass days, that I wanted to be approachable and smile and not have that ugly RBF.   She then told me to sit with my head held high and say "I am strong and I will do this because I am enough".   So I did.   I did it with a smile, with laughter and pride, that something that had scared me and side tracked me all day was faced and conquered.   Maybe I am one badass girl.
