🌷Stop hating yourself for what you’re not.

Start loving yourself for everything you already are.

You are not behind. You are not broken.

You’re becoming layer by layer, moment by moment. 💗

This something I struggle with still. Let this be your reminder that growth doesn’t come from shame, it blooms from love. 🌸

Be it trauma, abuse, addiction, etc. we always blame ourselves which eventually turns to hating ourselves. I’m not sure why that’s our natural reaction, but I hope at some point that we rid ourselves of it. Most often, we aren’t to blame or not totally at blame. I hit rock bottom 10 yrs ago and been avidly pursuing healing myself since. Takes 1 bad day and I still struggle to not hate myself. Thankfully with a great deal of effort, those bad days are getting further apart. 🙏🏼

You’re not stuck
You’re just thinking from a version of you that no longer fits. Because healing doesn’t always look like big, dramatic change… sometimes it’s quiet. It’s choosing not to explain yourself. It’s not reacting. It’s questioning your thoughts. It’s letting people go without turning bitter. It’s r
