Picking Up The Pieces

I'm lonely but that's ok. The Lonely used to consume me with terror. Now the lonely is bearable. Now the lonely is empowering.
I'm doing it. I'm picking up the pieces. I'm surviving. I learned how to make it through panic without a security blanket. I'm learning to soothe myself. I'm focusing on my own goals and making them a priority for the first time. I'm killing the procrastination. I can totally do this.
Some days are so hard. There are times where I just keep my head down and take a step at a time. But it won't always be like this and that is comforting.
I'm a fighter.
