THIS. Does Steve hand out medals when we reach our first DB milestone? You deserve a medal. This is progress.
You're a few months ahead of me but I can't wait until I can say this and actually mean it.
And I am here to tell you that, being ahead of both of your timelines, that you will come out stronger, more stable, and self-reliant. Focus on your personal healing journey and let the past be in the past. Revisit it only to excavate your strengths and weaknesses to gain more clarity so that you can chart a better path forward. Y'all got this!
