THEN: I turned all of my emotions and frustration inward, which usually resulted in going to Mcdonalds or the nearest store for junk food. I always was the nice good girl, that got along with everyone. That is because I turned all of my feelings inward and stuffed them down. Therefore, I turned my anger inward, because I didn't speak my mind and stand up for myself.
NOW: I stand up for myself and I am learning every day to share my thoughts and emotions with others. I have learned that expressing your thought and feelings does not have to be confrontational. For the rest of my life, I will be always reminding myself to treat myself with the same respect that I treat everyone else. Also, reminding myself that I am human and it is okay to make mistakes. Taking time for myself is now a top priority!!
