“This continues to be the greatest gift I’ve given myself. I remain so grateful for another year of growth, growing pains, lessons, joys, and self realizations,” the actress began.

“To be able to show up as myself and to be greeted with such warmth and acceptance is something I do not take for granted.

“The interactions, conversations, and moments of vulnerability from people I know, people I used to know, from people I’ve hurt, from people who’ve hurt me, from strangers and even people on the internet have given my life so much colour and meaning,” Lucy went on.

“Those experiences have been my favorite takeaway from this last year. To every person I have connected with…thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Finally, Lucy appealed to any of her followers who may be struggling with addiction.

“Lastly, if you are struggling please know you are not alone and that you do not have to trek this path alone. There is no right or wrong way to heal and it is deeply personal and unique to each of us.

“My only advice is to remain open hearted, curious, and to find the people who see and support you.

“It does get better. Take it moment by moment.”

Powerful words! Lucy also shared a quote from F.Scott Fitzgerald in her post, one part of which reads, “For what it’s worth…it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be.”
