You can do anything you want with your life. You are not damaged goods. You are different. Different than any other person on this planet. Know it and believe it. Not less than. You are not your mistakes. You are not your past. You exist only as the here and now. Don’t let the past control your future. Acknowledge the past, feel it, then let it go!!! That is freedom.
Other people may not always agree or understand you. And that is NOT your problem. How they view you is a reflection of themselves and their understanding. It has nothing to do with you. You were born into this world alone, your physical body will all die, and you will leave alone. So don’t waste your time trying to make other people happy. Focus on yourself first. Self care is not selfish. In order to help others, you have to help yourself. In order to be happy and spread joy, you have to chose happiness for yourself. You are worth it. You are enough.
