Entry Three

Regarding progress.

When I was younger I got into a pretty bad place mentally, and it left a lot of physical and mental scars. I wanted to believe that I'd moved on in the years since, but the fact that I'm still trying to cover those scars has given me a lot of doubts. Like, sure, I'm not trying to off myself or cause myself any harm, but my head is still a mess. I've done a lot to try and "heal my inner child" or whatever, I've gotten professional help and I've taken care of myself, but none of it has fully erased what happened to me.

I don't know if I'll ever be fully better, but I'm still trying to appreciate where I'm at now, to the best of my ability. Even if the best of my ability is basically just thinking "Wow I don't wanna throw myself off a cliff anymore, wooo." I hope my parents could be proud of me, whoever they are.
