things that have improved in my life since i got out of a toxic relationship:

- i finally started dancing again

- i've become more outgoing & have made a bunch of new friends

- i don't isolate+

+myself as often as i used to

- i don't feel depressed all the time (though i still have off days & that's okay!!)

- i'm finally starting to love myself (again,, still have some off days!!)

- i'm so much happier than i was before

- MY SKIN HAS CLEARED UP TREMENDOUSLY!!!

- i'm really starting to find myself and figure out who i am
