I think I'm finally starting to realize my worth and be nice to myself.

I've gone through a lot of self-esteem and self-confidence issues over the past several years, and I allowed other people to have way too much power over me. I spent a lot of years putting myself down and believing I was beneath others.

All of that is fortunately starting to change. I don't know exactly what happened, but it's like a switch flipped in me and I've decided to not give a crap anymore. I choose to recognize all of my good qualities and all of the great things I have going for me in life, and no longer tolerate any negative self talk. I’ve gotten to the point to where it's already no longer a habit, and I've replaced it with positive self talk (and not BS, stuff that I truly believe about myself). I've realized that I have a lot to be proud of myself for, and it doesn't matter who doesn't realize that. Those people who are not in my corner don't matter, and it is my choice to allow them in my life and allow them to rent space in my head or not. I choose not to.

Yes, I'm a flawed human being with room for improvement, and I have a lot of goals to improve myself, but I'm also proud of myself for trying my best and being the best version of myself I can be.

I am so happy, and so ready for this change in my life. I can feel a shift and feel like I'm growing in such a tremendous way.
