small, deliberate steps forward
Written by emma
Today, as I would often put it to myself, was a day. Nothing really went right, I cried more than once, it is the middle of November and it looks like shit outside which isn't really inspiring. So I had a plan. I would take a small, deliberate step. I would inch closer towards the woman I keep seeing in the mirror, that no one else can see.
I shaved my legs, arms, well just one of my legs honestly. It was taking awhile and I started getting lightheaded from the shower steam. I will get the other one tomorrow. It was nice, it isn't much, but it was a step forward, that I chose to take. This is very important for me right now. My head isn't in the greatest place and so a deliberate action on my part to feel better about myself, to feel pretty in a way that makes me feel pretty. Was a really big deal in that moment.
This is a short but very important post, because if the past few weeks have been a rainstorm, this was a small ray of sunshine.
