@travisambrosecoach: I had no idea how hard it would get… I had just moved in with my girlfriend (now ex) and best friend. I was graduating college soon. I had all the weed I could smoke. Life was good… right? On paper, sure. Except the next 5 years would become the darkest of my life. My repressed anger made me become someone I didn’t recognize. My suppressed anger transformed into depression. I behaved in ways that I felt deeply ashamed of. I completely lost myself as I tried to save a relationship that we both probably should’ve let go of a lot sooner. And I would just numb all of it with another rip from the bong 😶‍🌫️ Deluding myself that it was fine because I was “high functioning”. But no matter how much I tried to run, I couldn’t shake that deep inner knowing that it wasn’t actually fine. So I started therapy, I read books, listened to podcasts, became a yogi, Looking back on my journal entries from those years, it’s wild that I wasn’t able to change my life sooner. But the sad truth is, it just didn’t hurt enough yet. Attachment is a powerful drug. But you know what finally really tipped the scale? When I stopped hiding from everyone else how I was actually doing. Because shame thrives in isolation. And it heals through loving connection. And so here I am today, authenticity and vulnerability as two of my top core values. Trying to help you feel less alone and find the light, but trusting that wherever you are right now… It’s right where you need to be. Future you will love you for your strength to endure right now 💗 . . . #storytellingcontentchallenge #beforeandafter #HealingJourney #trustyourself #trustyourjourney
