I’m Trying (And Failing) To Become The Best Version Of Myself

Karly Valencia

I keep trying to remind myself healing is a lifelong journey.

Im not going to change into an entirely different person overnight.

Im not going to lose my baggage in one dump.

Im not going to fix my flaws with the power of positive thinking.

It takes years and years of hard work.

It takes constant effort.

I dont let myself dwell on the idea of giving up.

It means I only need to take asinglestep forward to get back on track.

It means Ive only fallen behind a little bit and thats not the end of the world.

Thats not a reason to quit.

Thats not a reason to fall into a state of self-destruction.

The fact that Imtryingto become a better person means Im on the right path.

It means my heart is in the right place, which is a good start.

Its not really afailurewhen I fall slightly off-course.

The real failure would be accepting my toxic qualities without doing anything about them.

At least Im trying to do the right thing.
