You’re worth more.
Sure, youve had a lot of bad things happen to you.
Youve lost a parent.
Annie Spratt
Youve allowed a man to treat you like shit.
Youve allowed your worth to be determined by what someone else thinks of you.
Youve made yourself smaller, to make other people seem bigger.
Youve walked away from toxic relationships.
You were put down for saying what you feel.
These are all things about you that make you, YOU.
Life is a big, fat, gigantic stinking mess, but thats the beauty of it too.
Youve taken these hardships and still managed to come out smiling.
Sure, theres pain there, there is for everyone.
Youve taken lifes curveballs and knocked them out of the park with that insanely contagious laugh of yours.
Life has given you lemons and youve managed to make the sweetest damn lemonade.
Its hard to wake up some days?
Find a reason and let that reason be solely for YOU.
Do it for yourself.
No one is ever going to have your back like you do.
THATS A GOD DAMN LIE.
If you lost a parent:
It doesnt get easier.
There is forever a missing part of you.
What you choose to do with that missing part is up to you.
Dont fill that void with vodka, men, or other illicit things.
Fill that void with SELF LOVE.
If you allowed a man to treat you like shit:
Girl, weve all been there.
Weve given our all to someone who didnt deserve it.
Stop beating yourself up over it.
At one point, he was exactly what you wanted and you were happy in that moment.
Dont look back as being stupid or feeling dumb for what you put up with.
Look back and look at it as a lesson learned.
Feel no regrets, and move the fuck on.
What you choose to do with the next man is what matters.
You allowed your love for someone else to mask your own needs, wants, and pleasures.
Your sole purpose became making sure that person never went without or had to worry about a single thing.
You began neglecting yourself and suddenly began seeing yourself through that other persons eyes.
You allowed their ego to overshadow every amazing quality about you.
Do not sell yourself short.
Youre beautiful in every single way.
If you walked away from toxic relationships:
GOOD FOR YOU.
Youre stronger than you think.
Its heartbreakingly hard to do this, but you did.
Youre worth more than you give yourself credit for sometimes.
Your hair isnt always clean?
Thats what dry shampoo is for.
You ripped a contact?
Throw those bifocals on.
Your jeans are a little tighter?
Grab a pair of leggings.
You keep focusing on all of your imperfections instead of seeing the beauty in everything that you are.
Your smile is beautiful.
Your eyes twinkle to someone.
Your laugh is the best part of someones day.
Love yourself, girl.
