After years of sadness and depression, hating myself, this is where I am now. (19-23)-->(25)
After spending so many years in depression, constantly hating myself, who I was, and what I looked like, I decided to take control and do everything possible so that my future self loves who they are. I still have a long way to go, as all this negative energy is difficult to erase, but I am certain that today, I took a major step toward this healing and the brightening of my soul.
I learned to dress better, to appreciate the small pleasures of daily life, started exercising modestly, but with great determination, and took immense pleasure during this transformation. Today, I know there are moments when I feel a bit weaker or sadder, but I accept it, and understand that it is part of the journey. I cannot say whether I am completely happy, but I have clearly caught a glimpse of what it feels like to be.
I wish a lot of courage to those going through difficult periods of depression. Know that you are not alone, and that, no matter what happens, the light always shows itself to you the moment you feel ready to welcome it. It can be hard, but I believe in you, because you are capable of far more than you think.
