Yeah, you aren’t perfect…
Give me all of your horrible qualities; everything you hate about yourself and wish you could change, every decision you regret and mistake you’ve made, every bad relationship you’ve endured.
All those horrible things helped you grow into the beautiful person you are now and I promise you, they’ll be the things the right person loves most about you.
But you deserve the best.
You don’t deserve to cry yourself to sleep or not know where you stand with someone. You need someone who won’t ignore your texts, make you feel inadequate, or play petty games.
You deserve flowers at work and surprises every day. You deserve morning texts and phone calls telling you you’re beautiful because you are – even if you forget sometimes.
Turn off the channel in your mind that tells you that you’re not pretty enough, good enough, or smart enough. That voice is wrong and it will drag you down if you let it.
We have to accept ourselves before others can accept us. The moment that happens, things will change. When you start to wear every scar with pride, you’ll smile at the reflection looking back at you.
Everyone looks up to you because of the things you’ve overcome and struggles you’ve faced. Yes, you’ve been left with scars as a result, but sometimes the most beautiful people are the ones who have endured the most.
