Mentally Unraveled

To sit under the stars while they hug you so tightly. To be looked into your eyes as if no one else existed. To be told that no one is as beautiful as you are. That you are exactly what they were looking for. That no one can ever steal their heart like you did. To feel the warmth of their kiss on your forehead. To feel their hands running through every strand of your hair. The innocence of their love, so real and pure. Their love so strong that nothing can break it. With every word they steal your breath away. They look at you with fascination and say “You are perfect!

But, you are your worse critic. You see every unwanted curve, wanting to be “skinny”. The bags under your eyes, yearning to look flawless. The lack of self esteem you are so eager to gain. Leaving you thinking you are so imperfect. No one ever showed you real unconditional love so you don’t even see it when it is in front of you. So, then what?

You continue to self sabotage all that is good thinking that you can never love so why even try to love them. You weren’t taught how to love yourself so now you don’t know how to perceive this word called “Love.” Left feeling so lost and alone as if you were so broken no one will ever understand you.

But, I do! Self love is the hardest thing to do when you grow up believing you weren’t worth anything. To be told you were too much of something or not enough of anything. But, today you start by telling yourself “You are WORTHY! You are so LOVED! and You are ENOUGH!” As hard as it is and as much as you don’t want to feel right now, IT GETS BETTER!

On days you just can’t, remember you aren’t alone! And on days you can, just know I AM PROUD OF YOU!

You are perfectly imperfect!
