Ugly Words
I know I'm not a perfect person. I know I have made mistakes right and left and that I am still making them. I do know that I am not crazy, I am not an evil person, just flawed. A friend recently told me that I needed to love myself and I questioned him about what that really meant. He sent me some links and even though I had been trying to practice the things mentioned in the links I have been more adamant about doing so since. Turns out this a good thing because the other day someone said some ugly things to me and they didn't really hurt. I was surprised actually that they didn't, but maybe this self love thing is working. I know who and what I am and I know well enough that the ugly things said to me were just garbage spewed out of anger. They were also over shadowed by all the kind words I had received over the week. This week I chose to focus on all the nice things people say to me and ignore the ugly things.
