So long story short, I recently escaped a cult, got out of an me tally abusive relationship, got rid of some incredibly toxic friends, have been trying to be more organized at work and home, and am even being nice to myself by letting myself enjoy things.

Im a teacher, and this spring break, i finally, finally took time to myself. I bought some games ive always wanted to play, took care of some obligations id been putting off for years, am letting myself get closer to a girl who shows genuine i terest in me, am studying the native language in my country (I dont live in America) and realized my comprehension is improving, am exercising more often, trying to be patient and understanding like i used to be, and am just trying to take things day by day, instead of trying to control everything.

I never really understood self love, since growing up, i was taught to just trust our prophet in the church, so..... i never really thought for myself. After i left, i was scared and a bit angry. I realized i wasnt shaped by the church, i shaped myself, and i was a good person still. I chose to be good, because i wanted to be good.

anyway, im in a better mood than usual, and wanted to share. I dont hVe a lot of friends here, soi just wanted to get it out in public.

Good for you. Truely. It must have taken a lot of strength and courage to get out of that. Im really happy for you.

its going to take some time, dont rush things just to experience them. Take you time and take things slow until youre comfortable with specific things. Thats really sweet that youre talking to a girl that has a genuine interest in you.

I see, well it's pretty impressive you managed to become a teacher while in a cult. Good luck to you in this new phase of your life

Share away. A topic like this is far better than a dozen shitpost topics (my own included).

That is awesome, TC. The best thing in life is to be happy in yourself, and realising that you can make yourself happy sometimes, and not just everyone else.

As for the relationship, it was built on lies and it hurt a lot of people around my partner. I was tricked into believing them. Then when I confronted them about it, I was gaslit and it went on for a long time.

Glad you are thinking and not afraid to do so because people cling to certainties these days but probably noticed.
