Something in your life you we're blind to and that you see differently…

I have been blind to self love. Growing up I was taught to care for my basic needs and at the age of 13 I lost my mom, she passed away from cancer. At twelve years old is when the young adult in me started to take form and develop into basically what could potentially be the rest of your adulthood. Having that guidance at such a young age led me to make some poor decisions in my life, affecting my future. I was blind to the fact that i mattered, I was a person. I didn't know I was beautiful because I would compare myself to other people. Not having self love put me into some bad situations, emotionally, physically and mentally. I've lost relationships and opportunities of success. I didn't love myself, you can't give away what you don't have. A series of decisions leading up to different events in my life brought to a halt. I can't blame the death of my mom for my lack of knowledge on my behalf. I got to work on me, that's something I had to learn on my own, no one can teach it to me. People can give me the tools I need but ultimately it's me who had to work for it, so I did.

Today I know myself worth. I no longer tolerate anything other than love in my life and I've developed with patience with those that are in the same place I would be. Now I provide them much love to guide them, bring them forward to love themselves. We are truly unique and if the world is blind to it, it's okay as long as you are not blind to it yourself.
