Sharing as Self-Care, I guess lol

I just want to share my experiences with other people who understand or have been there before. I don't want to sit in this space of hurt and pain, feeling like I'm the only person who feels less than to some degree. Everyone seems so strong or determined, further along than me sometimes. I've gone through more than anyone should have to go through in 1 lifetime, but I want to live beyond that.

When I share my feelings and experiences, I'm reminded that I'm not the only one, that everyone has something going on or has had something change them. Everyone has their battles and needs a friend or at least someone who understands. I have a support system, but at the same time I don't want to overwhelm them or seem too dependent. I'm still trying to figure my strength out and I'm proud of myself for getting to this point. I'm starting to love all of me and see that the mindset I used to not be able to see further than is a prison I can finally release myself from.
