As I’ve started on my self empowerment journey and pursuit of loving myself, I may have mistakenly come across as cold hearted or inconsiderate in regards to others. This is not my intention. Rather I’ve realized how much energy I’ve put into (and wasted on) other people who’ve not cared for me or shown me respect in return. For all of my life I have put other people first, and in doing so I neglected myself to the point where it didn’t bother me much when others disrespected me, simply because I was “used to it”. But that should never happen because it is not ok. It’s not ok to constantly tear myself down. So it’s my mission now to build up all that myself and others have knocked down in myself. It’s my mission to realize how worthy I am, and that everything about me (though it may be different from others) is good enough, because it makes me who I am. Yes, Some areas will forever be works in progress, but that’s not because I want to look like someone else or be like someone else, but simply because I am working to become the best version of myself that I can be , for me. But as always- progress, not perfection.
