I’m on the other side – day 1 complete. It was a mixed emotion kind of day. Imagine you were in an environment that previously brought out the negative feelings in you. You step away for a while. You then return to that same environment. So for the first few hours I felt an inner battle between the me who was drowning and the me who has since learned to swim.

So I’m giving myself time and practicing patience as I learn to swim again.
