Staying true in I like cheese

Who knew being true to yourself would be so hard. :/ You have to consistently enforce boundaries. I’m realizing that I need a lot of me time just to conserve my energy. I’ve realized that dating at this time isn’t an option for me unless they don’t mind being my friend. I have a lot of healing to do. I’ve been neglecting myself and my needs for some time but on the upside, my heart is happy that i’m making myself a priority. I’m realizing in my gut what I need and don’‘t need. There was a point of time where I was extremely detached from myself so mistreatment and neglect was a daily thing. Now it seems to be a thing of the past. I’m proud of myself.
