You’re not a wuss when you cry.
You’re not an idiot when you make a mistake
You’re not needy when you’re afraid.
And you’re not a whiner when you’re talking about the hard things in your life.
Please stop talking to yourself in those ways. Please stop making excuses to others.
There is a reason.
Maybe that reason is buried deep. Maybe you can’t see the reason yet.
But I assure you it’s there… and it’s not because you are flawed.
It might be a link to something in your past, it might be because your needs aren’t being met, it might be because you’re a square peg trying to fit into a circle hole.
It might be conditioning from your childhood, it might be an old self limiting belief, it might be your love language.
But it’s definitely not a flaw.
We are all living, breathing human beings with a history… with a story… and a heart.
Your body is your greatest tool, but your heart is your greatest asset.
Forgive yourself over and over and over.
Be compassionate towards yourself.
Love yourself.
Love who you are, who you were, and who you are becoming.
Love softly and love fiercely, but love consistently… and especially when you need it the most.
One day this will all be over. Embrace the journey, it’s the only one you have.
