"Strive for adequacy and you will achieve perfection. Strive for perfection and you will never be adequate."

An honest view of the world from the perspective of a recovering anorexic and self-harmer.

Step 2

I believe in a higher power. As a pagan/wiccan I am hesitant to define "higher power" broadly as I believe that there is a greater power out there but that it can be different for different people. I know it's very confusing. To me, my higher power takes the form of a woman. I lean more toward the wiccan definitions of the Goddess as Maiden, Mother and Crone. Without Her I know that I would not be here. My higher power has gotten me through the past 6 years of my life. Though I have come very close to killing myself, inadvertently and purposefully, She has kept me alive through thick and thin to use the cliche. She has seen me through and has brought sanity, safety, comfort, love and life back to my life.
