How i learned to choose myself after 7 days

Author

7 days ago I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. I was checking, overthinking, missing him and wanting to reach out. Now I'm learning that I can miss someone and still choose myself. I'm proud of myself for making it this far, and if you're going through the same thing, keep going. You don't have to be okay every day. Just don't give up on yourself.

you say you’re learning to choose yourself, what’s been the hardest part to stop doing these past 7 days?

those first few days where you realise you went from checking your phone constantly to actually making it through the day without reaching out felt HUGE to me. proud of you.
