Only You Have The Power To Heal Yourself!

RoumaniaI am an independent woman, traveling since 10 years ago to find my "home".
My story is about myself. It started when I was a kid and I felt pushed aside from my parents. They wanted a boy and when my brother was born I was not really there for them anymore. They always told me I don’t mean anything and I will never do nothing with my life, so my self confidence was pretty low.
At 18 years old I decided to change my life. I was working 18 hours a day, going to school on my day off and then home where my father always told me I was nothing. So, one day I said it’s enough and in a week I decided I would go to Spain. So I left, and they never said no.
The first 2 years were the most difficult to start having confidence in myself. I got a boyfriend, a guy who always wanted me to be different from the way I was because I laughed too loud or talked too loud or just told people about myself too much. After 2 years I decided again I deserved better so I moved alone and cut that relationship. I never felt better in my life. It was strange, but it felt good to be able to be myself as I am!
A few years later after a huge breakup that broke my heart, I fell into a depression. I felt like I did not matter anymore and all I wanted to do was to die. I tried medication but I threw it away after 4 days as it just made me feel worse.
I started to do sports, a lot of biking and running. I also started listening to The Secret and it’s motivations and it inspired me to want better, to be better.
I changed my life again! I moved to Ireland and I started again from scratch. It’s always about motivating yourself to do better, to be grateful and loving yourself as you are. Sometimes you need to push yourself to be able to get out of the mud but you can do it. Everyone can do it. But only you alone can do it. We are stronger than any pill and our mind can do powerful things!
