I am late with posting this. I had actually made an update post a few days ago but it is still sitting in draft I don't have enough courage to post it. I am a very private person when it come to my emotions. It takes a lot for me to reveal my pain and hurt even to myself. For that reason alone this challenge is turning out to be more difficult than I expected it to be. I revealed in a previous post that I don't look at myself in the mirror. Over the years, I have learned how to focus on applying my make up and fix my hair without seeing myself. This week I stood in the front of the mirror and I just stared directly at my image. I didn't think about positive things to say but I also did not think anything negative. When I went out I did not avoid my reflection in the store windows I looked at myself. A few times I even gave myself a smile. In the next coming days I am going to be more proactive but for now I am excited about how things are going. Until the next post!
Shannie, a massive well done to you. I'm talking high fives, hugs and shouting woooo at the top of our voices.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your future updates on this challenge. It's going to be tough for us all but I also think its an important challenge where we will learn a lot about ourselves.
I agree with you Tim I think I am learning too much about myself though. But something I realise is that you can only sweep things under the rug for so long...
