Be Gentle

[LovingLife7]

I truly believe we're all doing the best we can with what we have. It's so easy for me to put myself down over every little thing. But I try to remember this.

I think when I was always told I wasn't worth anything, and not wanted as a kid....I believed it because the person mostly saying that was supposed to be my caregiver, and they should know right?......they were wrong.....and cruel, and made what was once a bright happy little girl into a sad and dark child who never loved herself. Don't believe that you are anything but perfect the way you are...good and bad. We all strive for happiness, but we first must love ourselves. I will always be a work in progress...but at least I don't hate myself any more, and so can anyone if I can.

Me too faux! You know I can’t stay away! It’s taken me a long time to truly understand this and apply it to my life. Loving yourself is so critical to healing.

Oops! I wasn’t finished! It’s such a hard thing to do with all the negative self-talk that goes along with childhood emotional abuse. I understand it...so glad you’re learning to love yourself as I am too. They lied to us and now it’s our job to realize the truth about ourselves. I know now that I’m the complete opposite of what I was led to believe. Sending you more love faux!! 🌷🙂🌷

thank you.....back at you my friend.... some days are harder than others to believe in ourselves....but we just have to fight our way back when we slip....and we will.
