On a day like today, a couple of years ago, I was left alone in a studio apartment, without furniture, without a bed, without money, without knowing whether to cry, laugh or where to go, without any shelter or support … They threw me out of the house that I shared with my partner (he himself took me out like no dog can …)
And I fought for myself, day by day, to get ahead. With a broken soul, with my self-esteem on the ground, getting up every day was a great sacrifice.
Up to that moment my ex-husband had made me believe that it was not enough in any way, that it was not worth it, that I was not even capable of supporting myself. She told me that she was not a worker and that she was lazy. And I believed him and convinced myself that that was true …
But being alone I discovered that it was not true. Actually, I always knew, but my low self-esteem had led me to believe his words. Now I discover that I am more capable than I thought myself.
I still don’t trust myself 100%, but in the time that has elapsed since the release of that toxicity I can say that I feel more confident in myself than at any time in my life.
I feel that I am a new, young and beautiful woman who tries every day to put her breast to life and goes out to fight it.
Never again will I let anyone make me feel that I am worthless, as someone else did at some point. Not anymore!!. Mariana
