The year has passed, and I’m okay.
Let’s keep on, keeping on.
I look back on a year gone by, as I’ve learned about myself,
why this ‘n’ that happened - introjected values and such.
Success isn’t the world,
You can’t be nice all the time,
it’s not good to hide feelings away…
Oh man, I’m glad as well,
I’ve always had that empathy (for others).
Things have changed quite a lot for me, and I’m dead proud
of that fact. I’ve started self-reflection and stopped lyin’ (to
myself, and everyone else), despite this, sometimes I still feel
like cryin’, because of who I used to be.
That’s okay, because now I’ve got that empathy (for myself),
I’ve learned to ME with more respect,
More of that Unconditional Positive Regard.
It’s a work in progress for sure,
But I mean, it’s a start?
The year has passed, and I’m okay.
Let’s keep on, keeping on.
