How to stand up for yourself

Hi.
I know we’ve met, but you don’t really know me..well, not anymore.
You ran into me at a low point when I was far from my best, so don’t feel badly.
I don’t think I’d even recognize myself now from where I used to be.
Truthfully, when you met me, I had a choice to either let the troubles of my life weigh me down and or I could choose to embrace a future full of possibility.
Yep, you guessed it. I chose to grow.
I let go of all the baggage that wasn’t mine to carry and every step i took started to feel lighter.
The regret, the shame, the broken hearts- all the things that I’d be never able to change..I slowly began to let them all go.
Not because they weren’t important or because I was trying to forget them, but because harboring those feelings wasn’t serving any purpose..
I wasn’t better for holding on to those negative emotions of days long past.
I knew I would have to evolve and grow to find my happiness the way I deserved..
So I did.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy and it probably won’t ever be smooth sailing,
But then, what worth having ever is?
I made up my mind, adjusted my sails and started to believe in myself in a way that I never had before.
That’s not to say I don’t still stumble and fall flat on my face, but I now turn every setback into a comeback.
I’ll always have days when I cry in the shower for no reason and I may lose my cool randomly because that’s just who I am, for better or worse.
I may be broken, but then, who isn’t in some way?
I chose not to dwell on where I’ve been but focus on who I’m becoming ..
So, hey, it’s really nice to re meet you.
Forget who you thought I was because I’m not that person anymore.
I’m wiser,
I’m stronger,
I’m better.
I’ll still be a bit of a mess and not have it all figured out, but I’m okay with that.
I know who I am and where I’m headed.
So, hi.
Welcome to the new me.
I think we will get along just fabulously..
Let’s go see how beautiful life can be, shall we?
