Choose You

Almost exactly six years ago, I just finished therapy, and my therapist agreed that I need to rid certain people and things of my life, because simply put, the level of dysfunction and the level of toxicity was far too high. My therapist suggested I choose ME.

Sometimes things look so pretty on the outside, and we never know just how much pain and abuse one has had to endure. Six years ago, I took my therapist’s advice. However, I took the wrong steps in moving forward and truly choosing me. I literally ran without really healing, bringing all the open wounds along with me. It was the best time and the worst time of my life all at once. In between this time, I back-pedaled and allowed toxic individuals to plague my life once again, along with dealing with Multiple Sclerosis, which by itself isn’t easy, and being diagnosed with Lupus. I found myself losing control of ME and who I know I am. Severely depressed and unable to find any glimpse of light, I wondered if I should just give up. I took a walk and contemplated death.

But something told me, just hold on, because you have so much more to do. I have made so many more strides and have fully indulged in self love, and I have no shame about my journey and no feelings letting go, because this time, I’ve truly chose ME. Mindfully, in fitness, in eating, spiritually, and in love. Simply looking ahead to really live my very best life as the very best LEE. And the manifestation is underway....

CHOOSE YOU!
