hiii this was really hard to write + post! but as someone who deeply struggles with negative self talk, finding this video of my younger self helped me say, “heyyy do not talk to her like that??” I also obviously needed to introduce myself a bit more.
✨ As an adoptee at a year old, I was always told to be grateful, to feel blessed because my life could have been so much worse had I not been adopted. This ended up being an unhealthy mindset to grow up with, it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to be upset, about almost anything, because I quite literally could have died had I stayed.
It wasn’t until my mid-late 20s that I was truly able to feel valid in my feelings, and I’m still working on that so much to this day.
🏃🏻♀️ Running though? I didn’t pick it up as a hobby until February. I ran in high school and was pretty burned out by the sport + pressure. Picking it back up as an adult, I am sooo grateful for everything it’s taught me, and the peace it’s brought me.
thank you for reading + xo for now 💌 also, for those who I do know and have been supporting me forever in everything ily so much, I wouldn’t be here without any of you! #runner #adoptee #mystory #mentalhealth
