I wandered around to seek comfort and peace, never realising it was within me. I looked for validation from people, when what I needed was self-love. I complained about the chaos outside, when the storm was inside me. Once the realisation hit me, all pain, self-doubt, loneliness and restlessness vanished. And only that remained was bliss and contentment. I accepted my flaws and loved what I am.

Accepting yourself!
I wandered around to seek comfort and peace, never realising it was within me. I looked for validation from people, when what I needed was self-love. I complained about the chaos outside, when the storm was inside me. Once the realisation hit me, all pain, self-doubt, loneliness and restlessness vanished. And only that remained was bliss and contentment. I accepted my flaws and loved what I am.
It has been a heck of a journey from self-loathing to self-loving. I wish the world was a little more kinder and accepting but it's fine. Only you can make yourself happy and content and no one else.
