Sarah Smith’s Path to Healing

Hey my lovely,

I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you in a while. I was just surviving for a little while. I was in a low… and I am honestly so glad that I was.

I was in a low, and it was like the good days back then. If I look back to two years ago… my bad days over the last few days would have been good days back then.

Realising how far I’ve come was overwhelming. But it was amazing to see how well you took care of yourself… of me.

We’re in a place now where the bad days are still a bitch… but they’re just that—a bad couple of days, or a week… but not a whole month or year. And even on our bad days, we’re able to care for ourselves and get out of it before we spiral.

The beauty of it: we don’t even think about it anymore… we naturally do the things that make us feel better, and that is so beautiful to witness. I am honestly so grateful that I get to witness you and watch you grow into the person you were always meant to be.

I still hate that we went through all the trauma and the bad things, but honestly… I also believe that you made something truly amazing out of it.

You took that pain and used it to make yourself. You used it to shape yourself into this strong, resilient, and beautiful person.

People who don’t know you well will probably think you’re completely full of yourself… and you know what? You are. In the best way possible.

You are full of your own love, your own pride, and your own vision. You see and know yourself like no one else does.

So go and be full of yourself. You’ve earned it.

I am honestly so in awe of you.

Lots of love,
Me
