Strong and Confident

Okay,
I have a confession..
A while ago, when things were at their craziest, I broke down and didn't know what to do.

I decided I needed help. So my mom helped me and I went to a counselor.
It's been the best thing I have done for myself. EVER!
I realized a lot about myself. One of those things being that through bad relationships my confidence had been pushed down and that I needed to work on being strong and confident again.
Well the first "assignment" was to think of 5-10 things that, if the Strong and Confident Chelsea were around, would have happened differently. {Heaven knows I thought of a lot more than that} Then every time I would get sad I would think.. "Would the Strong and Confident Chelsea let this get to her?"
And the answer was most likely NO!
I also learned that you have to teach people how to treat you. Let them know you don't put up with certain things right off the bat. And if they have a problem with that, then you don't want them in your life anyways. It's rough, but you gotta do it to weed out the people who are bad for you and the ones worth keeping around.

That has helped me a lot.
So yeah, it's still a work in progress..I still have my not-so-good days.. but I feel I have come a long way and I never plan on going back.

It's pretty much my new motto.
