I've had hard times with myself –maybe you too? Times when I've been insecure, when I've demanded so much that I never was satisfied with myself. I've been totally lost – who am I, what I want - and why don't I know those things?
❤
Times when I thought that I'm not good enough, I would never find love because my body is not enough this or that. That I would never find my thing, my passion, because I don't have one talent, something where I'm extremely good at.
❤
I've had times when I cried almost everyday because I just felt so bad. I don't even remember why, I think I didn't even know it myself, but the future seemed such a mess and I didn't know my place in there. I just felt that I should be better, I should be more, should be something else.
❤
My mother gave me a book which helped me to find that out, if I really wanted something I could achieve it. I started to read more, and believe more. Life can give us amazing things if we just ask for them. I started to understand that hard work and persistence was the key to find a dream job and purpose, not talent.
❤
So I started to believe in my dreams, in myself and that I really can affect my life. I have to follow my heart and not be afraid of.
❤
But it was still so hard to be gentle to myself.
❤
When I realised one day that I already achieved all of my dreams that I had written down, I stopped. I had been so hurried to get more and more that I forgot that I actually had already done a lot. I could give myself some recognition. Many times we forget that we've already done well.
❤
One very wise person said to me that maybe I should be a friend to myself. Maybe I should give myself the things that I wish from others. I understood what she meant. I realised how much I was looking for things outside of me: love, acceptance, compliments, hugs.. Because I never gave them to myself. So I learned to be my friend and I can say that it's the best decision I've ever made. It's the most important and longest relationship in life, so I don't want to be so hard to myself anymore.
❤
Give yourself a hug: We all are so enough!❤
