I bawled my eyes out in therapy this afternoon.
Not because I was sad, but because I was HAPPY.
I worked for so damn hard to be happy and now it’s here.
I worked full-time throughout high school.
I did 100+ hours workweeks for years.
I went got into a top 10 grad school and graduated early.
I navigated career transitions.
I came out — three times — as a queer person, as someone living with mental illness and as a male rape survivor.
I turned my side hustle into a six-figure business.
I stopped drinking 7 quad lattes per day.
I found anxiety medication that helped my PTSD.
I finally used my passport.
I found love.
I found happiness.
I found me.
Thank you, Stephanie, for showing me that tears aren’t just for panic attacks,anxiety and sadness.
Happy tears exist, too.
