I recognize that...
I am too hard on myself. I hold myself to nearly impossible standards and get upset when my hard work does not pay off. I am a poor communicator. I can’t express my feelings and I push others away when I feel emotionally threatened. I burn bridges too easily. I am jaded in regards to my father and his dependence and mental health issues. And I have parts of myself I dislike. But. I am resilient. I am independent. I am able to provide for myself and the people I care about. I work hard in almost all aspects of my life. I have some pretty incredible people around me. I am smart I am driven. I am strong. I am learning to accept all of the things that I cannot control. But more importantly, I’m learning how to accept myself.
Sara please read this again.
