1 year after leaving

It’s been 1 year to the day that I decided enough was enough and that I could not respect myself and put up with the abuse I was enduring in my relationship.

I am happier, more confident, I love life, and have a wonderful partner who treats me better than my ex ever did.

Yet my body remembers. I’ve wondered all day why I was just looking for a distraction everywhere and couldn’t be still when it clicked. Today was the day.

I’m happy to say that it’s been a while since i’ve felt this significant dread in my body as I am all too familiar with it. Thankful for the healing i’ve been able to endure, and the healing yet to come.
