I want to be relevant in my mind. I want to feel I’m not worthless. I want to look at a picture of myself or in the mirror and honestly know I’m worth everything and that I’m the most beautiful person I know. That is my idea of “loving yourself.” I’m good at lying to people who don’t know me. I’ve perfected it actually, whenever someone asks me “how are you doing?” or ”What’s going on?” I’m quick to respond with a huge smile and inform my that person that I’m fantastic and that life is great. I figured it’s a positive lie because maybe I will start to believe it, kind of like when you smile when you’re crying thinking the smile will over power the tears - instead you end up looking like a meth addict clown..or maybe that’s just me. I want to start writing again. I’m going to keep up with this blog for me. I need a therapeutic hobby that lets me express myself to myself. This could make no sense to anyone, but I need to genuinely feel like I’m beautiful, and perfectly amazing in my own right. I deserve it, that I’m aware of. I deserve to feel good because I’m an amazing person who would take the shirt off of my back for anyone and I would take a bullet for the ones I love. I wonder if I would take a bullet for me though..
I feel like I’m the worst so I always act like I’m the best*
