why is it considered pompous to speak of the love you feel for yourself

why do we think we can't eat unless we burn off x amount of calories first

today:

i feel a peace I can't give a name

i look in the mirror to a face familiar

i am not perfect

i have looked much better

my abs aren't perfectly defined

my thoughts are often scattered

my words sometimes unkind

i am a work in progress

a constant success

how to be happy with what you do have rather than what you don't?

for example what I want vs what I have:

Want:

children

to stay home and be a mom

a warm home with a big kitchen

to feel fufilled

a tiny hand in mine

Have:

dogs

boyfriend

family who loves me

job

house

is there anything wrong with what I have? no. i am very grateful, i have been blessed. i have also neglected myself. i have taken what could have been and made it into it's never going to happen.

i have created what I do/don't have thus far. i have made mistakes i may never be able to right again.

i am not giving up.

Overwhelmed

Not all decisions are easy,

or even obvious.

Hindsight is seemingly perfect

reflecting can make you see

all you ever wanted

was once handed straight to you

and you threw it away.

If you don't love yourself, who will?

remember, your "fat" is someone else's 'skinny'

stop judging what you see

in the mirror

Focus on your who you are, the rest will

fall into place
