Just checking in with the group after having interaction today with someone who I realized has been actively trying to hold me back. Under the guise of support I listened to all of the reasons why what I’m doing is not necessary and perhaps even a negative. It was like a light bulb went off for me. In the past I would have doubted myself. Today I just disassociated knowing that I choose who stays in my life and I’m trying to move forward and put me first and surround myself with like minded supportive people. It was actually so much better than fretting over anything they said. I’m perfectly content knowing what needs to happen for me.
