Zest for Life
I've always said and have been told that I have a zest for life, I just love living, being me, and feeling free. My biggest fear in life is not to be living ym life to the fullest and my Eating Disorder is that exact fear.
Living life to the fullest to me means living fearless and free
Fearless and free from my eating disorder,
From society's views, wants, and opinions
It means being true to myself and following my heart
It means finding the good in everything, even in the bad
It means going on my own path even when the whole group takes another one
It means finding and living out my passion
It means feeling and spreading joy
It is nowhere near perfect
Rather it's raw, vulnerable, hopeful, real, & authentic
There's ups and downs, goods and bads
But the ups are higher than the lows and the goods are greater than the bad
It's strong rooted in faith
The faith gets watered every day
It continues to grow, be stronger, and conquer anything in its path that tries to steer it in a different direction
It means speaking kindly and compassionately to others and myself
It means having a voice and not being scared to use it
It means being positive to myself, life and others
It means nourishing my body and my soul
Cutting out whatever or whoever no longer serves me
It's living my ideal life
The sails may change direction
But the sailboat will stay afloat
It will not tip over
It will not drown
It will live
Live with a
Zest for Life
No Retreat No Surrender
