Don't let them get to ya'
I posted this on my insta and realized that this is a VERY important message for everyone.
I have never experienced such harsh comments, rude messages & mail at my door than I did when I was engaged. I never fully grasped how harsh this world was truly capable of being until experiencing all of this. Although I have experienced depression, anxiety, & stress all throughout High School, I was thrown onto a completely different scale of darkness. I was attacked for my appearance, personality, character, told to kill myself, & anything else you could think of. The damage this caused is unimaginable and I wish this on NO ONE. Even on my wedding day, SECONDS before my ring ceremony, I had a panic attack because I felt all of the words that I received and let it get to me on a day that I shouldn't have felt anything but love & support. I took off all pictures on my Instagram of my face because I was embarrassed, & even ashamed of the person I was... I started shutting out loved ones because I felt like I was nothing but a burden. Many thoughts of self-harm and even suicide arrived. Feelings of sadness, despair, & depression became consistent and nothing seemed to make that pain disappear. Well, after MANY trips to the Temple, prayers to my Heavenly Father begging him to allow me to be confident, happy, and even find some sort of forgiveness for those who have hurt me just so I could forget any of this ever happened, LOTS of Costa V comfort food, & support from social media, friends, & family, I FINALLY realized.... There will be people who want nothing but to tear you down ESPECIALLY in the moments where you are finding success. There will always be people who are looking for a fight. NEVER let them get to you! You have a loving Father in Heaven who wants you to be happy, so turn to Him to find that happiness! HE is the true and ultimate source of happiness and He will even help you find more sources to maintain that happiness throughout your struggles in life. I AM VALUABLE. I AM BEAUTIFUL. I AM WORTHY OF BEING LOVED. I HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM. GOD LOVES ME, AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT. I AM SMART. I AM BRAVE AND CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT I SET MY MIND TO. I AM ENOUGH.
Best part? So are YOU. ❤
