Once upon a time I wanted to be, achieve and attain certain things because I wanted to impress people…I wanted them to see my worth manifested through my achievements and my belongings.
Once upon a time I thought that just because certain relationships didn’t withstand the test of time, that I wasn’t good enough to be loved unconditionally by certain people.
Once upon a time I thought that I wasn’t special because I didn’t do things like the people around me…
Then I realized that I’m me. I can’t be or do things like everyone else.
My hearts desire can’t be to please or impress others…
I can’t want the love and acceptance of others more than I want to know and be my authentic self…
Once upon a time I spent a lot of time thinking about people who could care less about me…
I’m so glad that that time is over and that I love and like me enough to know my worth and have taken the time to get to know the One who created me…
