A Note to Myself

You don't come in a neat, tidy package; no one does. You are imperfect, but so is everyone else. You have many good qualities that you should pay attention to. You are smart, funny, beautiful, talented, honest, kind and you genuinely care about others. When you show your qualities, you shine and make people smile. When you feel sad, you only think bad thoughts about yourself. "Have I done something wrong?" "What's wrong with me?" "I don't fit in. I'm different." Being different isn't bad; it makes you unique.  Why are you so hurtful to yourself? Would a good friend say or think these things about you? Of course not. They would say that you're a great person. So, why don't you think these things about yourself? You beat yourself up about past mistakes and hurt. If you are in the present moment, there is nothing in the past that can hurt you. You need to move on and be ok with who you are and where you are. Life is not infinite. Be yourself and love yourself. The most important person that needs to accept you is YOU.
