#respecting yourself

[thatsolobitch]

Stop fixing yourself

You're not perfect

But does it really matter

The best poems don't always rhyme

And the best written books are without pictures

And the best stories you may hear vary with narrators

The best pieces of art many fail to understand

The loveliest of songs may go unlistened

The prettiest of flowers with time do wither

The most effacious of cures are often bitter

The world cannot deny them beauty and it can't do the same with you

So don't cut your edges

Don't smoothen yourself

Don't alter your being

to fulfill what they expect

Instead clasp your esse

And set your soul free

To feel what it feels

You're not a statue to embody perfect

You are a graven image

Holy in its imperfections

When you think Life Is Falling Apart, Take a Deep Look Inside

After my previous separation (prior to divorce), I really wanted to take the time and get to know myself and my needs, in an effort not to repeat the same patterns of the past. I never really knew if I liked me for who I really was, who was I, why do I continue letting myself down and why do I continue to pacify people, even on days…
