The final chapter - acceptance



Acceptance does take time, depending on the person and the situation healing can be quick or slow. My healing has been a rollercoaster, but honestly, I've never been so much happier and free. I've started to think more about myself, I saw more of my friends and spent time with my family. I was remembering who I was. I feel that I have changed. 

I’ve experienced going through these stages of grief so many times that it became a habit. At the end of the day I realise now all of this was toxic, why go through all of this to ruin your mental health. I’ve accepted what I’ve gone through however forgiveness is a different issue. Forgiveness takes time it can take years but I’ve come to terms and know there is still a lot of healing to go through. 

The things I’ve learned is:

If you’re truly not happy leave the situation, do not be a people pleaser.

Your emotions are valid- do not let anyone make you feel otherwise 

Do not beg to be treated the bare minimum - dogs, and cats get treated better than that

Do not let anyone make you feel like the bare minimum is the most they can do

Don't question if this person loves you or likes you, question yourself if you do and if you deserve more


So go to that country you've always wanted to travel to, go to the restaurant you've waited to go to, read the book you want, tell someone how you feel, and don't ever regret it. Life has a funny way of teaching you lessons. You either take it or repeat the same mistakes.
