It Was Not Long Ago
My mistakes do not define me: how I try to put them right does. I accept that I have made mistakes and I could do better. Trapped in disgust and emotional realms. In the mirror, reflections whisper regrets back to me. I will work on sitting with my uncomfortable feelings. I will dismiss all the false hopes that I deserve and learn from my past. I am grateful for every difficulty I have experienced has taught me to be more compassionate. My background is not an excuse for a poor attitude it’s my reason for striving for better. I will continue to learn and improve where I can. To make you understand that I am the one who has to suffer. If you’re not the worst then let me be the worst. Bitterness is understandable but it is not helpful and does not serve me. Cause I have to make my choice before I have to die regret the beast. My life is only as sacred as everybody else’s. Life is not fair and it is my responsibility to accept and be ok with that. I will continue to work on personal growth because I deserve to make peace with my demons. Surrender all my faith to the one who am pleased. I must face the world as it will be sure to be least. I have to break the chains that weigh me down. All I have to do is to be free from myself. I will embrace my imperfections. The only approval and respect I need is my own. I will continue to work on personal growth because others deserve the best from me. I will defend myself in my own way.

Tracie, I love where you said “My background is not an excuse for a poor attitude it’s my reason for striving for better.” I feel like it is easier for us to blame our backgrounds or trauma for our problems, but in reality, we determine how much we let it impact us. It is great that the only approval you need now is your own! Thank you for sharing your experience!
