I use avoidance as a coping mechanism and it honestly inhibited me in so many ways 😩 Only learning this now, thank you!
How are you now?
I force myself out every day under serious opposition of my own mind. I know it's just trickimg me into thinking I'm going to regret it. I never do. Its just a little bully in my mind that wants me all to itself. It will not win. I will take it out with me and show it a good time. Im the boss 😂
How are you now?
