Hopefully you don't have to end up where I'm at to realize how important you are and how much you mean to someone, something, or to yourself. You need to mean something to yourself in order for you to find joy, compassion and acceptance. I can't speak for everyone but I feel we all are on similar journies of finding self love and acceptance and we try to fill the void in different ways; for me it was people pleasing. The more people like me, the less they could hurt me and hurt who I was. In one of the evenings, a nurse found me and had printed out several sheets to help me with finding some self acceptance. I didn't even mention anything, she's just awesome (that's how good they are up there), and it hanged me. Her talk previously about boundaries and vulnerability led to a quote she had found and the last portion said, "Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness, will we discover the infinite power of our light." (Brene Brown) To me that means, only when we explore our weaknesses and flaws that we see, can we see how truly beautiful we are, which then in turn, makes us lights in a dark world.
I'm not saying my self love is complete, but I feel like I created some new neurotransmitters in my brain that I will continue to work on to make more daily thought patterns uplifting and powerful. I really encourage you to click the link (button) below to review the ted talk that highlights the things we talked about.
