Sometimes I can't believe I've lived this long. I can't believe I've made it this long. It's truly surprising to me sometimes.

Along the way, I've learned a thing or two that I wish I could tell young Dany how to handle. Since I can't, I'll tell you (or just myself because idk if anyone is actually reading this).

1. If you're desperate for love/family; go to therapy. Your heart is sad and craving love, not because you're lonely but because you haven't healed from your hurt.
2. Go to therapy. I promise, it'll save you. You only talk about things you want to talk about and therapists never push you to go where you don't want to go. That's kind of the whole point of therapy.
3. You are not your parents keeper. You don't owe your parents anything. Take it from someone who learned she was adopted (in a really fucked up way, mind you), you didn't ask to be here so I don't believe you need to do shit for your parents if they don't deserve it or if you just don't want to. 
4. Love=trust
5. Say the thing you want to say even if it's scary. You can always work through it but negative feelings/thoughts will rot inside your heart; so let them out!
6. It's okay to not say the scary thing if you're not ready.
7. Keep running. Not for the mileage or distance, but to activity spend time with yourself in a way that'll flood your whole body with endorphins. Running makes everything better. Trust!
8. Try tea with milk. Idk why, but I'm obsessed.

Saying these things to "young Dany" feels like I'm sharing my soul with strangers on the internet and it's FREAKY. 

Sometimes I wished so badly that I could type in whatever issue I was facing into the internet and a blog would show up and I could read and relate to someone else. Someone going through something I was going through made me feel a little less alone. Hearing how someone handled a situation that I'm also kind of in allowed me to explore other ways of seeing/processing things and it was incredibly helpful. 

It's not that I wanted someone to give me the answer. I just wanted to get a different perspective but I had no one in my real life to ask soo I turned to the internet. lol that's sad.

Anyway!

I'm gonna go do yoga and go for a short run now. To think, yah know?

See you next time?
