Note to self . . .
be kind to yourself, not everyone else will
respect yourself even when others don't
you have a kind heart, not everyone can see it
your opinions matter even if no one wants to listen
when you fall down, do your best to get back up
learn to trust yourself, even if others choose not to
love yourself, not everyone is going to love you back
don't let anyone define your self worth, they will put your value below theirs
when things seem overwhelming, keep calm and carry on
and, what you think of yourself is far more important than what others think of you.
Sometimes you start something and you don't exactly know what it's going to look like or how it's going to end up. And, what started out as a photo-art Friday "collage" prompt, quickly shaped up as my photo-heart connection this month. I didn't even go back to look at any of my other photos from the month.
I sat last night in front of my computer, in front of a blank screen with no idea or any feeling of creativity at all. Finally I had to just walk away...it was making me feel even worse than I was already feeling. And I was feeling sad, and somewhat numb and...a little lost. You see every now and again I let people treat me in a way that doesn't make me feel very good about myself. I lose my way, and start to doubt everything.
I let them take control of something that isn't theirs . . . my heart. But I'm taking it back, starting with this note to myself.
Love, Kim
