It is a wonderful feeling to know that you can dispute every attempt someone makes to manipulate you back into their arms. Blissful, really.
This feeling of self-acceptance has been creeping over me lately. A year ago, I spent many painful hours a night fretting over what people thought of me. Now, I don't really care who thinks what about me because I like myself (and I really like my hair today).
Really, it is like climbing out of a pit. If anyone has ever read some of my back entries, it is easy to see how depressed I was back in October. But it seems, that depression over time has alleviated itself. And it is all so simple-You have to learn to like yourself.
Self reflection is a great thing. But it can be a bad thing if you have a negative bias of yourself. I never realized that I wasn't viewing myself as I really am. To me, I was an annoying, uninteresting, stupid, person. Therefore I viewed myself inwardly very negatively no matter how much better I tried to be.
Wow, these new glasses help me see things a lot clearer than I ever have.....
