Advice to Former Self

I would tell her that the world is waiting for her to let go of her shame. The world is waiting for her to stop trying to prove anything and just be herself. And that every little part of her is lovable, every perceived flaw and inadequacy is actually what is most lovable about her and there are so many people out there who will love her exactly as you are. All those things you tried to suppress and run from are what are most lovable about you.

Definition of Recovery according to Brandilyn Tebo

Willingness to love yourself exactly where you’re at.
