All the what ifs will not change the what is.
Your should haves will not erase your mistakes.
The would haves do not create different paths.
You can live in the past, drenched in all you did wrong.
Or you could turn those what ifs into what could be.
Take a deep breath, say goodbye to yesterday.
Forgive your past mistakes and walk into all a new day.

When you cannot look at your reflection, because the face looking back is not what you want to see.

You are still worthy of love.

If you shrink back at the sight of a camera, because getting your picture taken fills you with dread.

You are still worthy of love.

On the days you cannot get out of bed, the blankets weighing you down.

You are still worthy of love.

You do not need to have the seed of self love in you.

You are always worthy of love.

In the darkest days, I sought out the light.
And I have found it.
In the depths of my sorrow, I searched for a way out.
And I climbed back up.
Though I bled, I kept climbing.
Through the tears, I kept moving forward.
I am here.
I am alive.
I survive .

There I sat, with the weight of the world perched upon my back.
The thought that this could not get worse.
This could not be heavier.
Then you came.
With your pretty words.
And you showed me…
This could ******* get worse.
This could indeed get ******* heavier.
*******!
