7 years ago my ex slammed my face into a bathroom counter and damaged all my front teeth. Last week my dentist fixed them all free of charge. For the first time in 7 years I can actually smile.

A year ago my wife left me and my girls. I finally got the finalized divorce papers in the mail today! That means I officially have custody of my two tiny monsters! I’ve also lost over 70lbs in the last year, working to get healthy and watch these two grow up. Haven’t been this happy in forever.

So I'm 16 and over 300lbs, and yesterday I made a post about me taking my first proper walk in over a year. Y'all made me feel so seen, I felt like I wasn't alone in this journey and I'm appreciative of all of you. I want to make an update everyday to hold myself accountable in a public space. I hope that my posts can inspire just 1 person to start doing the same. Cheers!

My mugshot from two years ago following a massive PCP/benzo overdose and before homelessness and a trip to prison. I'm now two years sober, living a wonderful life and happier than I ever thought I'd be!

I’ve erased 100 titles by now because nothing can explain how happy I am. Four years of trying to figure out how to be an utterly single mom, homelessness, and living in my car, we finally moved into a real home. Obligatory floor pizza on the first night

πŸš‚ /r/all aboard!😊 My son is Autistic. The best part of my day is the 20 minute night time routine with all his stuffed animals. Repetition doesn’t bother him (in fact he prefers it) so my same jokes totally kill every night.

After getting laid off twice in six months, and moving my family to a crammed apartment in a new city for a job I didn't like, I'm now at a job I love and buying my dream home. It has a bathtub.

Spent my entire life in a church that brainwashed me into following their dogma. I wasted my time "working" for them when I should have been getting an education. I am happy to announce that I finally got the guts to leave, moved across the country, and at 22 years old, I'm going back to University.

Three years ago I attempted suicide because of my chronic depression and a traumatic experience. Now I'm about to graduate high school and as of yesterday I'm three years clean of self-harm!

A year ago today, I moved to the other side of the world, without knowing a word of any foreign language. Today, I passed a German exam permitting me to study at university in my first ever second language. Fuck yeah, life!

Quit my job Saturday, got dumped Sunday, aced my midterm Monday, got the job I actually wanted Tuesday, paid off all my debt on Wednesday, and spent the day with my dogs at the beach. It’s been a good week. :D

Today is the one-year anniversary of my wife's passing. As I walked into my shop, I spilled my water. She gave me a reminder that today will be just fine. ❀️

1.5 yrs ago I shaved my head. I’ve struggled with depression most of my life and a lot of imposter syndrome. I have been dealing with cystic acne that leaves scars on the sides of my face and I’m just learning to be an adult. Your 20’s are hard, but I’m making progress and today I feel beautiful.

Recently got a job. No longer having suicidal ideation. Enjoying my free time now instead of agonising over it.
