We have been accustomed to being ashamed of our choices. The things that define our past, the world wants us to ignore them. When you talk about them, they say you haven’t healed. When you don’t talk about them, they say you are hurting inside. So really, whatever you do, society will not be impressed. So stop impressing them. Every addict I have interacted with has their issues coming from a place of trying to shut out the world. The only person you can actually please is yourself. The sooner you figure out that as soon as you love yourself, you will attract the right kind of people, the better for you. Personally, you cannot shame me for anything because everything I have done I have made peace with it.I accepted the faults that are mine. I forgave myself for letting the hurt linger for that long. I decided to heal the traumas that came with exposing myself to the past that hurt me so much. Therefore, nothing scares me. I thrive on knowing I made my bed, so I lie on it. The only difficult thing is when I have days when the consequences are expensive or emotionally draining. In those days, you’ll find me having low days. Other than that, no amount of shaming will ever bring me down. I wear my consequences with pride. I wear my tags without any shame. That way, you will find me smiling even on my low days. The external forces will only drive you to a place of heartbreak if you let them in. If you refuse to heal your traumas, they will torment you for a lifetime. Life will end when it’s supposed to. Whether you kill yourself trying to be someone you are not or you live it with so much joy, the end will come. Love yourself,live your life, and make no apologies for the mistakes you make. The liberation that comes from that will have your quality of life at a place that even you will be proud of. And when the time comes, you can die because you have lived.
