I just need to share this somewhere
This has been building in my chest all day (pun truly not intended, but it's funny anyways), and I just want to have someone acknowledge me? It feels like my family and friends are all used to hearing about this now, so the excitement has died down a fair bit... I just kinda feel it's not celebrated the way I want to celebrate it, so I want to share my joy with you, perhaps as a palate cleanser with all the hatred and violence spreading in our world.
I am 13 years clean of self-harm. I started doing it as a coping mechanism in my mid-teens for having to give up my dreams of dancing due to a disease I was the youngest and 4th in Canada to have, verbal and emotional abuse in the home on top of an assault as a tiny human, peer-pressure, bullies, and honestly I don't wanna reflect too heavily on the negative on a day as special as this sooo we're moving on. Despite being almost 30, I have struggled with the addiction, and it's never something I openly talk about to anyone. I'm raw-dogging this until I can get a psychiatrist again, and I might not know what the hell I'm doing, but I'm moving forward. I won't lie and say I've been 100% abstinent because, just like sobriety, a relapse isn

my signature breakfast recipe
If you're tired of cooking eggs the same way every time, give my recipe a try 😋
Ingredients:
• 1 spoon of olive oil
4 eggs
Oats
1/2 spoon of milk (optional)
Cook everything on low heat while constantly mixing. It takes about 3-4 minutes (maximum).
It might look a little runny at first, but that's fine. I like eating it with bread 🍞
Do you take selfies, just for yourself?
Do you ever take selfies just to keep for yourself?
Historically I’ve had pretty low self esteem and when I was in college and my 20s I’d take a lot of selfies with the intention of posting and being seen.
My self esteem is higher now in my 30s, but I also just don’t use social media like that anymore— I deleted my IG, Facebook, etc. most of my posting is art or text based these days. I stopped taking selfies for a while just because it seemed pointless.
But recently I’ve started taking selfies again just for me, I don’t intend to show them to anyone, I’m just liking how my face looked that day. Not every day or anything but sometimes! I still have a lot of things I don’t like about my own face but sometimes taking pictures of it helps me feel better about myself for some reason.
Do you take selfies just for you? Does it help your self esteem or hurt? Do you like your own face?
