I think this goal is what my life has always been missing. It is so difficult to love myself and accept my flaws as part of the beautiful multi-colored portrait that is me (not like Dorian Grey’s portrait, lol). Guilt and shame cling to me like a ball and chain. Sometimes it seems I try to hide things about myself from myself, if that doesn’t sound too crazy. It’s just really hard to except past mistakes as part of myself and come to terms with the fact that I’ve learned from them so I can let them go. I’m always convincing myself that I’m not good enough or I haven’t learned enough. It’s like my mind is always tricking me into ignoring the beauty and taking a magnifying glass to the problems. It is so important to work on this for the hapiness of everyone. Thanks for listening!
