I hope by now you’re already singing Maroon Fives classic, ”And She Will Be Loved.”
…because, damn do they say it well.
Shits hard!
Today was hard.
Some days I’ve got this all under control…
And other days my eating disorder screams way too loudly.
Sometimes I’m engulfed by it— confused by it, saddened by it, hurt by it.
But, on the days when I get a taste of freedom…I experience those ‘rainbows and butterflies.’
And to be perfectly honest, I don’t think I’d notice those ‘rainbows or butterflies’ if it weren’t for the compromise— some days I’m struggling to keep my head above the water and other days it’s easy sailing.
Knowing that not every day is easy sailing, is what makes me appreciate it that much more.
But, even at the end of those rough days, we must remember— “she will be loved.”
I will be loved, you will be loved.
You are not defined by your struggle— whether it be an eating disorder, a learning disability, anxiety etc.
You may have your obstacles in life, and damn can they be hard….
But, embrace the days when you can find the strength to love yourself— to see beyond your battle.
Appreciate the moments of freedom when you are lucky enough to have them.
And remember, life goes on…
Tomorrow isn’t so far away.
