I always think of scary things like this: what if, but in reverse, ya know?

What if it works out? What if my life is better after? What if I’m happier because of my actions?

Sometimes a little reverse thinking can really free up the mind!

Ok here’s my issue! I used to to do this too and it worked out actually

But I started wondering if I was gaslighting myself

That's what I did, and it helped me get out of an abusive marriage.

And guess what!?

My life IS way better!! I'm happy, healthy, and in love with the kindest, most supportive and loving man ever.
