You Don’t Need To Forgive To Move On

Forgive and Forget is a saying we’re all a bit too familiar with.

There seems to be this notion that in order to move on from something traumatic, you need to forgive those who have wronged you, and if you don’t then you’ll never be at peace or be able to move on.

What bullshit!

Didn’t get through the housework this weekend? Didn’t even attempt the housework this weekend? So what? It’ll still be there tomorrow. It’ll still be there on a day you can do it. You’re not a failure. Housework isn’t everything. It’s not always tidy house tidy mind. So stop putting pressure on yourself. Stop measuring success by how much washing you’ve gotten through. You’re here. You’re getting through. And that’s what really matters. . . . . . . . . . . #takecareofyourself #plussizelove #lookafteryou #chronicillness #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spooniesupport #chronicillnesswarrior #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealthblogger #mentalillnessblogger #mentalillnessrecovery #checkonyourfriends #bethereforeachother #bpdrecovery #eupd #eupdrecovery #spoonielife #spooniesupport #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #recovery #edrecovery #selfinjuryrecovery #addictionrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietyrelief #wellnesswarrior #houseworksucks #productivitydoesnotequalworth #girlswithtattoos
Another year is coming to a close, and even if you feel like you haven’t accomplished anything, you’re still moving forward. You’re still here, you’re still trying. And that is such a huge achievement. . . I’m nowhere near where I wanted to be as far as my blog goes, but that’s okay. I’ve still had an incredible year. I’ve made some steps, no matter how tiny, towards my goal of turning my passion into my career. . . Thank you to my followers, my friends and anyone whose ever supported this little blog and this big message I’m trying to help get out there. . . Cross Words, Not Wires. Be A Rebel, Love Yourself. Let’s Talk About Uncomfortable Shit. You Got This. . . . . . . . #bbw #plussizelove #bodypositivity #chronicillness #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spooniesupport #chronicillnesswarrior #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealthblogger #mentalillnessblogger #mentalillnessrecovery #checkonyourfriends #bethereforeachother #bpdrecovery #eupd #eupdrecovery #spoonielife #spooniesupport #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #recovery #edrecovery #selfinjuryrecovery #addictionrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietyrelief #wellnesswarrior #bloggerlife #bloggingcommunity
It’s hard to be a human. Some days I just don’t have the energy. Brush teeth. Shower. Brush hair. If that doesn’t sound like such effort to you then you’re lucky. Because believe me, there are people that don’t get the energy to do that every day. . . . . . . . #disabledmemes #personalhygiene #bodypositivity #chronicillness #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spooniesupport #chronicillnesswarrior #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealthblogger #mentalillnessblogger #mentalillnessrecovery #checkonyourfriends #bethereforeachother #bpdrecovery #eupd #eupdrecovery #spoonielife #spooniesupport #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #recovery #edrecovery #selfinjuryrecovery #addictionrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietyrelief #wellnesswarrior #selfcarethreads
It’s lonely being chronically ill. People sometimes think because we’re a couple and both have health issues, that all we need is each other. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes you do need the support of others to help get you both out of a rut or just to help with everyday life. If you have a chronically ill/disabled/struggling friend or family member, please remember to check on them. Even if they don’t live alone. Let them know you’re there for them, and it’ll mean so much to them 💕 . . . . . . . #plussizelove #bodypositivity #chronicillness #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spooniesupport #chronicillnesswarrior #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthblog #mentalillnessblogger #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalillnesssupport #checkonyourfriends #bethereforeachother #bpdrecovery #eupd #eupdrecovery #spoonielife #spooniesupport #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #recovery #edrecovery #selfinjuryrecovery #addictionrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietyrelief #wellnssswarrior #fibromyalgia #fibrowarrior
I need to STOP comparing myself to everyone else. Every day I get on instagram and go look at all the other bloggers out there absolutely KILLING it, and then I look in the mirror at my own makeup-less, not Likes worthy face looking back at me. I need to be NICER to myself and treat myself like a friend. Maybe then I won’t be so SCARED to put myself out there a little more... . . . . . . . #plussizelove #bopowarrior #comparisonisthethiefofjoy #stopcomparingyourself #bodypositivity #chronicillness #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spooniesupport #chronicillnesswarrior #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthblog #mentalillnessblogger #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalillnesssupport #checkonyourfriends #bethereforeachother #bpdrecovery #eupd #eupdrecovery #spoonielife #spooniesupport #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #recovery #edrecovery #selfinjuryrecovery #addictionrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietyrelief #wellnssswarrior #bloggerproblems

It’s crazy how time passes. It drips so steadily you think time is crawling, but when you stop and look up, there’s a whole ocean between where you were and where you are. This last decade has consumed me, in both good and bad ways. I never would have guessed ten years ago that I would have had careers in two different industries or been slammed into the ground by grief and loss. I also would have never guessed that I’d survive those things, but here we are. If there’s one thing that time teaches us, it’s that you never know what’s coming. Anything is possible. . . . . . . . . . . . #chronicillness #invisibleillness #spoonielife #spooniesupport #chronicillnesswarrior #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthblog #mentalillnessblogger #mentalillnessrecovery #mentalillnesssupport #checkonyourfriends #bethereforeachother #bpdrecovery #eupd #eupdrecovery #spoonielife #spooniesupport #invisibleillness #invisibleillnesswarrior #chronicillnesswarrior #recovery #edrecovery #selfinjuryrecovery #addictionrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietyrelief #tenyearchallenge #10yearchallenge #bopowarrior #wellnssswarrior
My body is amazing. It’s done so many things and carried me through so many difficult times. It’s been my home, my safe house, my everything... and I don’t care what size knickers it wears. I love it ❤️ . . Check out my new blog on how my mental illness helped me with body positivity.
