A Love Letter to Recovery
You have brought so much good back into my life.
Quality time with friends & family
Sunday morning bagels runs
Peanut butter straight from the jar
Iced oat milk lattes
Dance parties in the kitchen while baking
Banana bread with all the butter and brown sugar
Discovering new favorite foods and restaurants
Sourdough, brioche, English muffins, and all the delicious carb-loaded breads
Laughter
My smile
The spark in my eyes
There were times we were never quite able to see eye to eye. I questioned your judgement and criticized your beliefs. I cried and cried and thought we would never work. But now I see why we had to go through all the painful moments.
I am grateful to you for pushing me every single day to show up for myself. For helping me change my perspective on food and learning how to prioritize other things in life besides the number on the scale. For always reminding me there is a light at the end of all this. The tears, the anger, the distress, they would all be worth it.
I will never forgot the way you stuck by my side during all lows and that feeling when we finally made it through. You were not what I wanted, but exactly what I needed. And you are the greatest gift I could have ever asked for <3.
