Huge victory
Dear Delyara, For the first time in years, I went an entire day without checking my ex’s social media. It sounds like a small thing, but it was a huge victory for my mental health. Instead of looking backward at a ghost, I looked forward at my own life. I spent that time reading a book, calling a friend, and actually cooking a real meal for myself. I felt the invisible cord that was tying me to the past finally snap. I am reclaiming my attention and my energy, one hour at a time. I am finally choosing me.
