... love yourself (just the same as before)
This is one of those terribly hard things to do. But also one of those terrifically "worth-it-in-retrospect" things.
We are going to feel like the air has been knocked right out of our bodies. Some of us have felt it so many times over in the past, or are even feeling it right now. At depressing low moments, not much makes sense- no inspiring quote, not many kind words of advice even sinks in.Then is the time I begin to hate myself, and inevitably hate those around me including God.
It is true what they say, people who hurt are hurt themselves.
Yet it comforts me to know that other people are there to share the pain with me, either through a simple hug or a listening ear.When I'm down there, where nobody seems to be "for me", it has been important to remember ( like a child ) that we have the choice to get up and face a new today. The choice is there waiting to be made by us, to get up and eventually smile, eventually forgive ourselves. Everything's going to be okay.
The experience changes us. If we choose to embrace what it has helped us remember about who we truly are, instead of to be bitter about it, we end up blooming into stronger people.
This is when we need to truly believe in ourselves.
This is a beautiful song that pretty much speaks about how I feel about this subject :
Please take comfort in the fact that whatever you're going through, somewhere on the planet, somebody has already gone through this.
