one year ago today, i got on a plane and went to SAFE. one year ago, i was one person and now i’m another. i am healthier, i am happier, i am stronger. i didn’t get to the point i’m at all by myself, but every time i chose not to injure has been my choice. i chose me for me. i made that happen and i take full ownership of that.
making healthier choices would not have been possible without SAFE, however. i learned to be that other person that i am today. i learned to care about me and to make choices that were for me. i learned to live my life on the outside, not the inside. i learned to reach out and to talk honestly, no holds barred. i finally became the person i was meant to be. it was hard to find me because i’d been hidden all those years, but i’m here now and i am not going away.
to kristy, suja and especially lauren: thank you for everything you did for me. thank you to matt and sarah, my favorite techs. you have all influenced my life and i am truly grateful. thank you from the bottom of my heart!
and since i go incognito around here, i’ll help you out and tell you i’m juelie. it’s the extra “e” that might help you remember me.
Congratulations! I’m so proud of you. Keep up the good work, you deserve it!
😀
Hope I can get into SAFE soon and will be able to say the same in the futre. Congrats!
That is amazing!!!! Congrats! I want so badly to make it one year! Havent gotten there yet but hopefully soon!!! This gives me the inspiration to know it can be done!
I hope you can go out and celebrate in some way!
I emailed and asked about getting into SAFE. The wait list is a couple of months for the intensive program ….ugh.. =(
What all did you have to do in order to get in? Like, what “qualifications” are there, and what was it like? How much did it cost?
Thanks, and CONGRATULATIONS!! =D
