I'm not sure if I ever shared this but I wanted to give a little more background in my life before the journey. I had always depended on other people for love and acceptance and just overall making me feel good about myself. I'm not sure where it came from but that's just the way I was. Throughout my life, people weren't able to give me that and of course we all know there's some pretty cruel people out there. I've been told I wasn't good enough in many aspects of my life.
This past year wasn't any different. I had people who didn't love me, people who hated me, and people who gave up on me. The only difference this time was instead of giving up and getting down I decided to love myself. And that was the best decision I have ever made. I'm not sure where I'd be now if I hadn't and I don't want to find out.
I like the way I am now and I like where I'm headed. I look forward to life and everything in it, even the pain. Because it all reminds me where I am and where I could be. And to all the people that gave up or told me I wasn't good enough, I have nothing but love for you. In not loving me, you forced me to love myself. In not liking my appearance, you forced me to embrace it. In giving up on me, you forced me to invest in me. In a way I am grateful to you all. In your negativity, you led me to a life full of happiness and positivity.
I can't say that it didn't hurt and it still does hurt from time to time but it was the greatest lesson I could have learned. And I am so grateful for the experience.
Don't let the negative peeps get you down, use them as motivation and overcome them. Once you do that you will be so much stronger and happier. I hope you all are having a beautiful day. You are so awesome, I hope you know that.
