I've H A T E D this woman... (or at least thought I did!)
Actually, I struggled to love her in the past.
I've fed her lies and told her she wasn't good enough and have allowed others to tell her she isn't good enough.
I've allowed her to be broken. I've allowed others to treat her disrespectfully. I've allowed her to run through brick walls and battle for others who won't even stand for her.
I couldn't stop others from abandoning her, but I've seen her stand up and be a light for the world and love others despite all that.
I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart and soul.
This woman has screwed up many times as a daughter, sister, (mother), friend (a wife)because she didn't think she was worthy of self-love or the love of others.
She has a smart mouth, a stubborn streak, and she has secrets. She has scars because she has a history. She has so, so many scars...some visible, others invisible.
Some people love this woman, some like her, and some don't care for her at all... But she now knows how to love herself.
She has done good in her life, she has done not so good in her life.
Every mistake, failure, trial, disappointment, success, joy and achievement has made her into who she is today.
You can love her or not---but if she loves you, she will do it with her whole heart.
She can be dramatic and sometimes she is scatter-brained. She will not pretend to be who she is not. Never again will she apologize for who she is.
This woman is a WARRIOR.
She's not perfect, but she has a lot of WORTH. She's UNSTOPPABLE. Gracefully fragile, but beautifully standing.
She is LOVE.
She is LIFE.
She is TRANSFORMATION.
She is GRACE.
She is BRAVE.
.. and she will never stop learning or moving forward...
She is ME....... ❤️
I challenge you to put this on your status with a picture of yourself. Let’s spread some self-love today ❤️
I know I have seen this before and I believe posted even...but a good reminder! So here I am.
