In the past it was not a simple diagnosis, when I had breast cancer yes; but that does not define me.
Because beyond a "horrible" illness, it is a great learning and life lesson that makes me more human and more aware.
Until one day you realize that the most important appointment of your life is in front of you. 💙
How important it is to take the time to reflect on what you were and what you are now. Overcoming is one of the most beautiful things a human being can experience. To heal with your "I of the past" you have to do whatever it takes so that your "I of the future" is completely free, light from adverse burdens.
There are difficult days but we survived each of them. You've always been enough, you just don't know it yet.
At this moment I would say to my "I" of the past.
To die..., sleep! Sleep!... Maybe dream! Yes, there is the obstacle! Because it is necessary that we stop to consider what dreams may happen in that dream of death, when we have got rid of the whirlwind of life! - William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, act three, scene I.
That instead of thinking and rethinking the bad of all this, I take it as a teaching that every day I get to know myself more; I hurt myself less and I assume how brave and valuable I am!.
I am grateful for the beauties of life, the beautiful people who love me, the gifts and talents that my legacy will leave on this earth; the moments shared, what I have lived, the times I have been so happy and those that have broken my heart into a thousand pieces, in short, for the good, the bad and the interesting.
Never give up, never back down. I live today under my expectations building my reality, without stopping dreaming.
The first step to make any change is to be aware of needing it, the second is the will to do it, the third is in doing, in starting to take actions to achieve it.
The situations that seem to destroy us are the ones that forge our character and make us stronger.
This day I change my fears for faith; for joy and for the certainty that that monster will never appear again, just as my fears and my anxieties and cortisol and stressors disappear, all that... And no more! 😔
I really write every day as a therapy, I help whoever I can with my stories because it comes from my heart and I teach those who read me because the Lord put it in my life plan. Tell me in the comments, what is your message to your past self?
