Huge milestone after an abusive relationship !

I know this is really stupid, but I wanted to get this out because it’s silly but I’m really proud of myself too. I got out of a four year abusive relationship back in August, with the help of police and my family. He threatened me Everytime I wanted out. So the whole time I was with him, I buried my emotions like they didn’t exist, I was in denial about everything I wanted and felt in life because I knew deep down I couldn’t have it because I was with him. I was cold, I didn’t acknowledge what I felt or wanted.

Now it’s February, and I just watched frozen 2, and started bawling over the song “the next right thing” that Ana sings. I can cry again, even over silly things like movies, I can think about what I want in my life because it’s MY life now. And I am discovering now at 23 years old that I’m actually an emotional person who feels things even from watching Disney Movies and I have hopes and dreams too.

I’m so happy, even when I make mistakes in life now I’m still happy because they are MY mistakes that I made, and I’m not forced into things anymore.

Anyway thank you so much for reading and I love you wonderful ladies of eve.
