I don’t know how to break free from my chains of addiction….
I regret hating myself from a young age. I had and have no reason to. I know I have so much potential and am sabotaging my own life and have no idea how it has gone this far. Where did my dreams go? Where did my hope for love, life and opportunities go? Why haven’t I ever had courage in any area of my life to do something i actually wanted to do? I blame my parents but then realise they can only do so much, ultimately I am the one who has always held myself back. I will never get that one opportunity I had wanted for so long, finally got, then never took…again. I regret that I don’t think I’ll ever let it go, have let it shape who I am and don’t know how to break free from my chains of addiction. I regret thinking beauty and thinness is the answer to my problems–did i not learn anything?

You will be free if you’re willing to fight for yourself. Stop the punitive voice and the cycle of negativity it gives rise to. Start with forgiving yourself today, now, show yourself compassion. Once you do that, decide to value yourself for who you are, for what brings life and hope to your heart (music? dance? nature?) and NOT for appearances (how others see you), you will begin to be free of the cycle. You are worth the fight.
