Being present is the hardest thing I struggle with. This relationship included.
Today was a day of confronting things that at other points in my life I would not have. I would have shied away. I would have acquiesced.
I’m not saying I did everything perfectly, but I didn’t do a bit of it without putting myself and my own happiness first and foremost. I didn’t spend a moment sacrificing my needs for the needs of others.
And if you think that sounds selfish, I would suggest you go read about codependency.
I am responsible for my happiness and right now, I’m being very responsible.
It can be frustrating to see so much growth in one area and so little in another. But I suppose that I just need to remember that progress is not linear.
