- Well, BrowGate definitely taught me an important lesson. I’d let other kids’ negative comments affect me, and then I’d let my insecurities lead me to alter my appearance and make a big mistake. Which was exactly why my mom was upset. She wanted me to recognize that I’d tried to change one of my features to fit in.
- When people point out your differences as negative, it’s only because they’re insecure themselves.
- But I will never need anyone to complete me. I am enough on my own.
- The world is made up of all kinds of people and I’m not always going to get along with everyone. As long as I know that I have the choice in how I interact with them and to what degree I allow them to affect me, they can’t dampen my spirit or turn off my light.
- No relationship is greater than the one I have with myself.
- In order to accept the love I deserve from someone else, I must truly believe that I am worthy of it. And I am. And I’ll never let anyone tell me differently. I value myself. I respect myself. I appreciate myself. I accept myself. I love myself. Always and forever.
- I found that I didn’t need to carry around and rely on my staple food supplies, and didn’t need to panic if I didn’t know what or where I would eat next.
- This is me.
- if I felt full, perhaps more than I would have once felt comfortable with, I sat with my discomfort and pushed away those familiar feelings of guilt. Then shockingly, three hours later, I felt better, sometimes even hungry again.
- I’m not getting any younger, and the sooner I accept my story for all that it is, and let go of the shame, regrets, and fear surrounding my experiences, the sooner I can just live, love, and be loved.
