I've lived this, and damn it feels great to know how far I've come from that low in my life - how far away it seems now - YAY!
Congratulations, Ash!
One of the best things of the human brain is that it tends to forget especially the negative experiences/feelings. What remains is the incredibly good feeling of: YES, I made it. I can totally relate and am happy for your achievement :-)
Thanks for mentioning these two, I'll check out their blogs. I love to read pieces of content that go deep - not only the superficial "Steem to the moon" posts on the trending page :-)
Have a great day!
Thank you :)
Yes I think selective memory is helpful to continue day-to-day. I just know it was a very dark time and one I wish not to visit again.
I hope you find interest in the blogs above, maybe see you on Steemit! :D
