Think you are damaged goods? Not so fast!

“I know you think you’re scary and damaged. It makes you think you don’t deserve good things, but you do. And Derek, he’s bad for you. But me, I’m a good thing. And if this is a race, if there is a ring, my hat is in.” – Grey’s Anatomy 

When it comes to love, it’s easy to get caught up in a whirlwind of insecurities. When life breaks us over and over, we internalize the idea that we’re to blame and assume we don’t deserve good things.

If you find yourself stuck in self-loathing, remember this.

 

You deserve more than what you’re settling for…

Sometimes our insecurities cause us to settle. Maybe you’ve made mistakes in your past. Maybe you look at your reflection and see everything that’s under the surface, every person you’ve hurt.

But I’m here to tell you, you aren’t that person anymore. You need to stop defining yourself by the past.
