Why is this so fucking hard?

People tell me constantly to “love myself” and to “know my worth”, but honestly, it’s so much easier said than done.

It should be so easy. I should be able to just see myself in the mirror and realize all the great things about me and what I have to offer. But it’s never that simple. It’s something I struggle with on a daily basis.

When I really, truly think on it, I can see everything about me that there is to offer. I’m smart, funny, talented, driven, positive, and I’m honestly beautiful inside and out. Yes, I know these things, but for some reason, it never seems easy to truly believe these things. When I fail, when I feel ugly, when I don’t work as hard as I should, when I mess something up, it feels as though these things about me no longer exist. I fall back into the belief that I am not good enough or that I don’t deserve the things that I have.

But that’s not true. I’m tired of feeling like this, so I’ve decided to change. It’s a daily process, but I am regaining my confidence and growing into the person that I’m meant to be. It’s time.
