I have lost count of the times that I have picked myself up and moved forward, even when I really didn’t want to. There were times when I just wanted someone to take care of me. There were times when I thought suicide would be the best answer to my problems.
But I never took that step. Something inside me always kept taking the next step.
Now, don’t get me wrong. There were days…even weeks…when I barely got out of bed. I cried and I screamed out of sadness, anger & frustration. But eventually, I worked out deals with myself to take the next step of survival.
Ultimately I learned how to not just survive, but really thrive. I still have bad days. We all do. I have just become more resilient over time learning that I am way more powerful than I thought and I CAN DO THIS! #resilience #maryholloway #lunchboxwisdoms #wendyswisdoms
