Everything changed when I stopped putting myself last.
REBEKAH STERLACCIEverything changed when I stopped putting myself last.
REBEKAH STERLACCII breathe better now. I thought I wouldn’t or couldn’t. But I was wrong. Isn’t that how it is with these things.
REBEKAH STERLACCINo. I can’t pretend that everything is the way it was. Even though that’s what we do- move on like everything is okay.
REBEKAH STERLACCIIt’s possible to be all the parts of you that live in your heart, brain, and body. Not divided into containers. A giant messy wait of authenticity. Where you are all the things. All the time.
REBEKAH STERLACCIA year ago everything started to change. I didn’t think I could come out on the other side. The view is fine. I’m fine. Better now.
REBEKAH STERLACCIIt might be time. To do that thing. In fact it has been time for a while.
REBEKAH STERLACCIClarity wakes you up at 2am. And tells you its time to move on. and let go.
REBEKAH STERLACCII cannot face another moment of inauthenticity. Not one more day. Saying no to the things that make me uncomfortable in my skin.
REBEKAH STERLACCII am slowly finding my way back into my skin. Or maybe that’s not it. I am growing into a new skin with knowledge and time.
REBEKAH STERLACCIWhen the air begins to turn colder, a warmth grows in my core that says – it’s time to start new.
REBEKAH STERLACCII’ve said goodbye to so much. Now there is space. And for the first time I see how necessary it all was.
REBEKAH STERLACCIEvery time I answer- I have to work harder to remember that I am happier with a wall between us. But knowing this – I still pick up.
REBEKAH STERLACCIOf all the times I’ve said goodbye- It has been the hardest to let go knowing they aren’t gone. You just don’t know them anymore.
REBEKAH STERLACCISometimes forgiveness is off the table. When the hurt is real you can’t forget. But you can walk away. That’s healthy too.
REBEKAH STERLACCIWhen I am broken you don’t try to fix me. You listen. You are there. Thankyou.
REBEKAH STERLACCIWhen one thing changes, it all changes. And now sitting in a pile of fallen dominoes I feel like me.
