Survivor

By Uglytruthis

Lately I have been acting like a little child throwing the world biggest temper tantrum. Rolling around on the ground kicking and screaming of how unfair life has been.

I can hear her little voice shouting as she jumps up and down, “look at me!! please notice I am here, please give me love!!!” This need for attention has resulted in some very unhealthy patterns:

  • Ran strait into the arms of one dysfunctional relationship after another
  • Worn myself thin with people pleasing
  • Blamed everyone else for my problems
  • Not treated myself with respect
  • Complained and whined
  • Ran from responsibilities
  • Relied on other people for my happiness
  • Disregarded my needs and ran aimlessly in abusive circles
  • Hid behind addiction
  • Been selfish and uncaring to others and myself
  • Become passive-aggressive and irritable

This is a result of complacent living. Complaining and whining will not get anything changed. A sense of discontent and anxious discomfort has drive me to take action. With action I can take back the power over my life. I choose to no longer be a powerless victim, but a strong survivor.

What actions do I plan to take?

  • Learning to make boundaries
  • Going back to school
  • Nourishing my body with healthy food
  • Getting more fresh air
  • Get enough rest
  • Being honest
  • Getting an education
  • Learning/trying new things
  • Learn to balance work and seriousness with play time

I would love to hear what you do to take action in life

Stay strong <3 you are not alone
