Loving Myself Through Gratitude
Some days it’s hard to feel like I’m worth it. However, at the core of my being, I know I am worth it. I am deserving of great things. I am worthy of being close to everyone who loves me back like I love them. Even when I feel my lowest people try to pick me up and show me all the good I bring to them. I might not always perk right up, but I appreciate all the efforts and kind words from those around me. The confidence I have regardless of feeling good or bad, is always enhanced when I’m surrounded by my amazing supports or as I’ve referenced as being my red cross.
I am so grateful to wake up every day with a list of people I can talk to that makes me happy, and it starts with my great girlfriend, parents, and every friend that has helped me and still helps me when I am feeling low.
Before I started this latest mental health journey to better myself and understand who I am, I struggled with acting positive and suppressing my feelings until it boiled over and exploded like a full balloon filled with water. Now, with the help of writing out my thoughts, I feel more like my true self, and it feels so good. I can be honest with what I really want through my writing. Sometimes I don’t always share what I want to say with spoken word, but rather write it down so not to feel judged by myself or others. With every new post I feel like I’m unlocking a new superpower from within.
I am worth it.
