Unedited self-talk

 

what is my biggest fear?

rejection.

abandonment.

how does it affect me?

faking.

paralysis.

what is my ultimate remedy?

adoption.

self-love.

See, it is simple.

You probably saw what I was after, when I had this raw, unedited talk with myself.

It is simple, yes.

But not easy.

It took me such a long time to be honest with myself.

Because it's painful.

But healing begins with truth and that pain it brings.

There's no new freedom without a fight.

But.

I am, you are, we are - worth it.

Fight your fight.

Become the you that's stirring inside.

Be bold in loving yourself, the healthy way.

You're worth it.

Could you take a moment to ask yourself something like I did? 

And to listen, this time. 

Listening was hard for me. But with a little patience, the freeing truth came out, and I could feel it was real. 

How it stirred something inside of me.

Something that's afraid to be seen.

Just try. You never know what you'll tell to yourself. And what it can do to you.

It's the first step.

Just like when the man stepped on the moon for the first time.

Picture of me after a workout, just as a reminder. It's okay to live the unedited life, not hiding the raw yet radiant beauty us all carry. It's seen through our brokeness, when we stop hiding stuff and just own it. Ugh.
