Recovery is a learning process

Recovery is about learning to love and value yourself enough

to stop destroying yourself.

It's about forgiving yourself and others.

No matter it is your body or your mind that needs recovery,

it will take time.

You need to take one step at a time and be kind to yourself always.

When your body is sore, it rings a physical break time.

When your mind is tired, it rings a mental break time as well.

I'd focus more on mind recovery because if it is not in peace,

it will eventually affect your body.

I remembered myself when I was a teenager having a boyfriend.

Back then, I was a trainee at an audit firm.

I enjoyed my training there and could perform work well

in the first 5 months, but my boyfriend at that time

was nervous I would meet someone else and leave him,

as my social circle was getting bigger.

With problems/challenges that I have with him and at work,

and he started to act differently,

my last month at work was like crying every 15-20 minutes.

Everyone was so worried about me,

not only my seniors at work but also my family.

I didn't feel like eating and I couldn't sleep for about a week,

until I found out that my boyfriend already cheated on me.

At the moment I knew, I felt heartbroken.

But then, it totally changed me. It changed my mind.

If he doesn't value me and stay loyal, he is not good enough for me.

It changed my thought in just a click

and all of my sorrow and tears were just disappeared.

Thanks to my family & friends, and my seniors

who understood me and supported me at the time.

Don't feel like you're wrong if you want to cry.

Tears might be the sign you have been too strong for too long.

Take it easy and slow.

In time, you will smile again.

You will find a new strength,

a new peace, and a new happiness.

It just takes time.
