I heard a voice saying I wasnt good enough my whole life - first by my mom, than by my h. I allowed them to make me feel less than.
I have worked hard these past three years to silence the voice, to combat the feelings, to figure out what about me I could change in order not to feed into those feelings.
Still working on it and I know I have a ways to go.
My C explained to me that they were my mirror since they were two of the most important figures in my life. When I looked in it, I saw what they reflected back at me.
Now I have different mirrors. Positive people who accept me just the way I am, flaws and all. But most of all, when I look in the mirror, I see the me I have become.
So, keep digging. Keep learning and pushing yourself.
It will all take time, but it is so worth it and so are you.
