Someone once said to me that you should never listen to the opinions of folk that you wouldn't go to for advice.
As usual, it didn't really sink in at the time. It never does, does it! We need to be ready in order to do that. Ready to accept, to be brave, to fight for ourselves, and to stand steadfast in our own truth.
Until then, we will muddle along. Until the day it all makes sense. We will see and understand exactly what they meant.
Maybe you will feel angry or sad. Maybe you will be angry for not standing up for yourself like you would for other's that you love. Showing yourself the same compassion that you so freely give away to the rest of the world.
Maybe this will make you sad. Sad for the time lost, the love not given to ourselves, from ourselves. The missed opportunities of happiness and fulfilment that we all deserve.
The important thing is, that we all get there eventually. Hopefully. We realise that we are important. That we can't expect other people to believe in us, to love us, if we aren't willing to do that for ourselves.
