Forgiving ourselves is key.
One cannot go without the other i feel. 💗🙏🏻
It’s a hard thing, the journey of finding out who I am and embracing everything about myself..
Especially those icky parts I don’t care so much for.
The baggage, the bad memories, the stuff that hurts my heart..those are the hardest to confront and make peace with.
Every bad situation and each broken heart pushed me a little further away from myself, scrapping sometimes just to see the light.
When I got down- truly down- it was hard to lift my head out of the bad feelings and be optimistic again.
That’s when I realized that I had been fighting myself for so long, I didn’t know how to truly love myself any more.
I was always so hard on myself and maintaining unrealistic expectations, it had made me unhappy and even lost, at times.
I finally confronted the parts of me that were ugly, sad and hurtful and I started letting go of the bad and embracing my scars.
Truth is, they never really were flaws at all.
They were just the cracks I needed to let the light in.
So, that’s what I did.
I made peace with what I could and started to appreciate all the things that had made me who I am.
I won’t say it was an easy journey, because I still battle with the uncertainty and self doubt some days..
But it’s getting better.
I don’t hate the mirror reflection any more and I’m starting to love all the things I once hated by understanding they make me unique and beautiful.
All the jagged edges, imperfections and scars are little pieces of my character, woven together beautifully to create me.
Me.
A person that there’s no one else like, who is optimistic, friendly and loves with all her heart.
I’ll never be perfect or flawless, but I don’t want to be.
Call me broken, scarred or a mess- I’m fine with that.
It means I’ve lived, I’ve fought and I came out the other side stronger and better.
There’s nothing I’d change about who I am or where I’ve been.
I have a long way to go to get where I want to be, but then, that’s what is truly beautiful about life.
The real joy is in the path you take, the choices you make and the people you love.
And I’ve decided that I love this journey, no matter how hard it is sometimes.
Maybe I’m not where I want to be, but I’ll get there..and I can’t wait to experience every step of the way..
My way.
