I do this all the time, actually. I just don’t publicize my declarations of love.

Really, I think this is just part of the personality work I’m constantly doing. I work on finding peace in myself, and with that, a lot of things vanish. When I do not feel the need to prove myself to my parents, I won’t sneer unnecessarily at them anymore, for instance.
The worst habit: Letting things out on the innocent.
The. one. thing. always on my mind.
It’s what I fight for every day, in every controversy.
This seems like the wall between me and happiness. Once I know my worth, everything will come my way!
Once I know that people disagreeing with me, criticizing me, or getting angry with me don’t mean that they don’t love me anymore – then everything will bring me joy.
I have to know that I’m irreplacable. Because everyone is. That I’m lovable for being me, with whatever skills and flaws I may have and be.
