I'm sorry to myself.

I'm sorry for not putting your needs first.

To care for everyone elses and not your own.

For not treating you as well as you should've been (body and mind).

For forever being your worst critic and oftentimes enemy.

To feeling the you deserved the way you were treated because your 'the worst'

For constantly belittling, undermining with self hatred.

For being unkind with such words you'd never dream of saying to someone else.

I'm sorry to the little me and big me for always being at war and never being just enough.

Note to self; Please treat me with love, respect, kindness, gratitude and lots of care.

Dear Shanm2, what a beautiful idea in writing a letter to yourself.Keep it somewhere where you can read it each day. You are worth loving.

May you start this New Year doing something special for yourself.

Find a quiet place each day and wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze lol

We all need a hug, we all need to be loved. And when there is no one else, we

always have ourselves. (and me lol) :) xx

Thank you so much for your words! Its so true, that all we have in the end is ourselves, and hopefully one day becoming my own best friend, and treating myself just as i would my actual best friend!. Hope you have a great New year, wishing you all the love, support happiness and contentment! :)

I'm sorry you felt this, and have also done the same! Its difficult to untrained or get out of the habit of some of the things mentioned above.

I believe in you. You are amazing and the world would be a different place if you weren't in it and when or if you ever feel you some of these things. Remind yourself your are enough, just as you are.

Stay safe, Stay strong.

And a Happy New year to you too!
