I’ve listened to so many people with numerous opinions on who I should be and how I should behave that I lost touch with my own heart.
I ceased living for myself, preoccupied with the thoughts of those who never walked my path or stood in my shoes.
But seeking approval and fitting in only worsened my self-perception.
So, I’m ending that nonsense now.
It will take time to silence the external voices so I can hear my heart and soul’s song,
But eventually, I will manage.
Rather than dwelling on my faults, I’ll start appreciating my virtues.
There are many beautiful aspects about myself that I’ve overlooked.
The way I love, the care I give, the kindness I extend to others,
I’m quite remarkable in my own ways,
And that’s what’s truly important.
I’m no longer searching for aspects of myself to fix or alter; instead,
I’m going to embrace my uniqueness and strive to be the best person possible.
Yes, I have much growth and evolution ahead, but now, I’m doing it for the right reasons:
Because it’s my choice.
It doesn’t imply there’s something wrong with me or that I have flaws to correct, just that I’m aware I can always improve in ways that matter to me.
I don’t need to be the most beautiful, fashionable, or popular; I just want to be at ease with myself and content.
I’m finished wasting time on unattainable, unrealistic versions of myself… and honestly, I don’t desire to.
I’m imperfect, flawed, and sometimes a bit chaotic, but I’m authentic and distinctive.
I’m content with that…and it’s taken a considerable time to recognize my value and self-worth.
There are still challenging days, but now, the good outweigh the bad.
Ultimately, I’m relishing being myself and living life to the fullest.
It may not be flawless or ideal, but it’s uniquely mine.
