The arduous journey to self-love
Learning to love ones self is one of the hardest things I’ve tried to do
I can create something out of nothing…
I can change 100,000’s – probably more – over the years…
I can ‘get shit done’…
But love myself?
That’s been a challenge
It’s not that I didn’t like myself
I HATED myself
They say hate is a strong word
And it’s appropriate for how I felt back then
I loved what I did, who I helped, the difference I made and how what I did helped so many
Yet conversely I couldn’t of cared if I saw another day
Self love?
Is hard
Self like
Well, that’s where I’m at now and to be honest – it feels rather good
I’ve come to terms with many of my flaws and failings and made amends where I can, and
let go of what I can’t
All that does is hold you back
Always try and make things right – for example right now I’m in a position to help some folks out who helped me out when I wasn’t my best
It feels good
It’s been a journey for sure; but I’m happy enjoy being dan
– it’s taken a while –
And have done for little while now
I know what’s important
I know what matters
I know who matters
(And equally know the polar opposites of all of the above)
I’ve learned that it rarely happens when you don’t feel worthy or at the least like yourself
That needs to come first
Without it?
Then you’re likely to make some of the mistakes I made
And if you’re happy as you are just being you
Then that’s awesome
