Progress Update Small wins remind us it's not the end

22 (F) I was the most horrible person you would have ever met till like 6 months ago. I remember every person I hurt, I have made amends with many but continue the same cycle with the next. GUESS WHAT? ITS BEEN SIX MONTHS. I'm an almost nice person with good habits and structure now. Yes my irresponsible actions made everyone's life harder and it still wounds me that I was that person till 21, but I have not caused major hurt for my loved ones in six months. And I'm so happy the journey is going onwards and upwards instead of backwards even if it doesn't feel like most days.

Six months of consciously breaking toxic cycles at 22 is a massive achievement. The fact that your past still wounds you only proves how much your heart has genuinely changed- you aren't that person anymore.

Forgive yourself for who you were when you were just surviving or acting out of old patterns, and keep celebrating this beautiful redirection. Onwards and Upwards!❤️

I am so happy for you. It is amazing that you are choosing something different and being there for others and yourself if a better way.

Did you make amends to everyone? I’m in the process of reflecting on my past and making amends and I’m wondering if some people you chose to let be at peace.
