I realized today that I’ve spent too much of my life thinking that there were things about me that I needed to fix.
I listened to too many people with too many opinions about who I should be and how I should act that I stopped hearing my own heart.
I stopped living for myself because I was too preoccupied with the thoughts of those who had never traveled my path or walked in my shoes.
But trying to win approval and fit in just made me feel worse about myself..
So, I’m stopping that nonsense right now.
It’ll take some time to quiet those voices all around me so that I can hear the song of my heart and soul,
But in time, I can do that.
Instead of thinking about what is wrong with me, I’m going to start enjoying what is right with me..
Because there’s a lot of beautiful things about me that I forgot along the way.
The way I love, the way I care, even the kindness I show others..
I’m pretty awesome in my own ways,
And that’s what matters most.
I’m no longer looking for what I need to fix or change but instead,
I’m going to celebrate my uniqueness and just be the best person I can be.
Sure, I’ve got a lot of growth and evolving to do, but this time, I’m doing it for the right reasons:
Because I want to.
It doesn’t mean anything is wrong with me or I have flaws that need to be addressed, just that I know I can always work to become better in all the ways I care about.
I don’t have to be the prettiest, most fashionable or most liked, I just want to be comfortable in my own skin and happy.
I’m done spending time I don’t have chasing unrealistic versions of me that I can’t ever attain... and frankly, I don’t want to.
I’m imperfect, flawed and even a little chaotic at times, but at least I’m true to myself and unique.
I’m good with that…and it’s taken me a long time to realize my value and see my worth.
There’s still days that I struggle with that, but now, there’s more of the good days than bad.
And in the end, I’m just enjoying being who I am and living my live to its fullest.
Maybe it’s not perfect or ideal, but it’s mine..
And I’m happy knowing that when I wake up every morning,
I’m doing it all for the best reason of all:
Because it makes me happy.
I can’t ask for more than that.
