After a rough emotional week I am finally starting to feel more positive. I am starting to learn it is ok to care about myself and not focus so much on what others opinions are about me. It is ok to do things for myself even if no one else validates it.. I don't need others validation. Now don't misunderstand me,, I am all about getting and receiving support, but there is a difference in getting support and getting validation. Getting support from others is an added bonus as you work on whatever goal your trying to reach, but that doesn't mean you can't reach it on your own,, just means the journey is a little less lonely and you get encouragement, and giving it as well, along the way. I am finally getting it. I am worth every effort and if I wait for others to say "go" your worth it, then I am cheating myself from really getting to know who I am and what I can accomplish with my own free will. A person who truly supports another person only enriches their life. Never should anyone put their self worth in someone else's hands, never should you give that power away. That only leads to toxic friendships and no one needs toxic people in their life. I wish I could hold onto this feeling forever,, and will continue to make goals to get myself there because I am worth it.
