MOC day 24: 2013 and now

Description
My face when I saw this challenge :eyeroll . In life we all have 'sliding doors' moments, and early 2013 was definitely one of those for me. Happy with where I am now, but will never not wonder what life would have been like now if I had 'listened to my gut' then

With Wabi-Sabi Collection, Frames in Fours, Hear my Voice Planning and Rachel's 'Lived in Time' titles.
Very insightful and transparent journaling. Love the progress sign on the right. The internal struggle (of the mind) is always a challenge but we are most changed, I think, when we examine our thoughts for the truth or the lies they reveal that we have believed or avoided. Thanks for sharing with us.
 
I know many will have had your same reaction. I love your honest journaling, it can sure be those hard times that bring us to grow, adapt and change. I think a lot of us might like to live on a dream island right now. I love the design of the page with the collage of photos and LOTS of room for journaling. Thank you for allowing us to see a bit of how you changed into a happier version of you.
 
An incredibly honest look at your changes over these years- I'm glad you have reached a happier place. ♥
 
Why do some of us tolerate gaslighting and bad behavior for so long? Sigh...I sure did. And then a friend told me people don't do things TO you, they do things FOR themselves. And then I understood the motivation: manipulation. I appreciated your journaling, the glimpse into your past. You've overcome a lot. And this is why I think it's important to tell our stories. So others see what can be, so others don't feel alone.

Absolutely right about telling our stories. I used to think words like 'gaslighting' and 'projection' were over-used buzz words, but actually it's such sadly common behaviour.
