The character of your story
I have this philosophy that i discovered very recently actually but has really changed my perspective on life.
Its that you must take care and love yourself because you deserve it. Though you may convince yourself you dont, or you cant seem to see past you flaws and mistakes, or you have thought uup every reason conceavable that you dont need that love ...you deserve that love. You deserve to believe in yourself. YYes make mistakes, feel pain, be afraid. Its what makes you alive. Its what reminds you that you are human. But dont let those regrets, pain and fear drag you down...face them head on. Because at the end of it all, you are stuck being you for the rest of your life. Youre stuck as the main character of your own story, might as well write the character that you would want to root for.
