learn to love myself

I’ve been pretty good to myself lately. I’m not being as critical or down on myslef the way I was before. I’ve found that getting myself active again has really helped I think. I’m begining to accept the things I can’t change about myself but it’s not easy. The important thing is that I am trying.

It’s so frustrating when you are making progress and you’re happy, when out of nowhere you start to feel a little down. Is this normal or is it just me? I try to shake it off but as the clock ticks away I feel myself start to spiral down. I don’t know what to do except let it pass the way it always does. I just don’t want it to get out of control again. Does someone out there have any suggestions?

It has taken me about 16 years to accept myself for who I am. Opening my self up and learning how to really love was an increadble obstacle of mine. Thanks to my incredibly patient boyfriend of five years, I can finally say that I am content with my life, I can love myself, and I can stop questioning if and why others love me. By accepting this I can continue growing into a beautiful woman inside and out.
