I ran from me for a long time and when I eventually stopped, my life started to change. I found out I was likeable, even loveable. This change in me hasn't been easy, it's taken a lot of pain, and tears and reading and talking and thinking and quiet time alone. But as the song says, Wouldn't take nuthin' for my journey now!
That is awesome!!! It is empowering to finally let go of the chains that shackle us. Funny thing is we so often view other people, situations or things as our own shackles when in reality we usually are our own worst enemy. Learning to love ourselves is crucial. Be authentic to who we are is tough, learning to slow down and listen to ourselves.
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
