ashleyspencer, 
I feel like my breakdown yesterday led to a breakthrough.
I've had so much self-hatred and embarrassment over my 20's and 30's.
But I was just a person in a whole lot of pain desperate for someone to love her.
Spent my entire 30's easily manipulated into relationships I didn't want to be in causing 24/7 stress and anxiety. I believed that was all I deserved.
But I don't feel the need for outside validation anymore.
Self-worth sets you free.
May I never be made to be a victim again.
