on good days
On good days, I don’t even think about the food. I eat just to eat; I enjoy what I eat; I eat when I’m hungry. I don’t even think twice about what it means.
But that’s not what recovery is about; that’s not what being a warrior is about. It’s not about what you do on the good days.
It’s about dealing with the bad days, the not-so-bad days, the boring days, the just okay days, the almost-good-but-not-quite-there-yet days.
That’s the path we have to take, the point that we keep on returning to over and over as humans, as we slip and fall flat on our faces– to pick ourselves back up and say: Okay. I choose to let this be an opportunity of growth, a chance to become stronger–
Every.
Single.
Time.
