Take for instance, kindness. Everyone always says be kind to others because it will come back to you tenfold. But wait. What happens when you’re too focused on being kind to other people. Who ends up being kind to you? I am my own worst enemy. I put myself down, criticize, doubt, berate, and god knows what else. When do I start being kind to myself? I reserve all of this kindness for everyone else, I forget to love me. Diana. The person who I get to live with for the rest of my life. Unconditionally. I can’t separate from her, but my actions lead her to hate me. I never tell her she’s beautiful no matter what size she is. I never tell her how smart she is. I never tell her how kind she is. I don’t tell her to stop caring about what other people think and just be proud of who she is.
That all ends today my friends.
A love note to myself:
Dear Diana,
You are beautiful, kind, and have the warmest of hearts. People can be unkind, but pay no attention. You are so blessed with all that you have. Take care and I love you.
With much love,
Yourself
