I would be lying if I said I have it all figured out. I don't. I am very hard on myself and have traits about myself that can be both motivating as well as damaging. An example of this would be how I strive to be perfect in the things I do. If something falls short of that perfection, I struggle to accept that what I had done was my best effort in that moment. I have been through some rough times that I have somewhat managed to overcome, which also pertains to everyone else on this earth.
Recently, I have been having a tough time and I'm going through things that I continually have been struggling to understand. I don't really want to touch base on what that is, but maybe someday I'll feel more comfortable discussing it. So for now you get this: I decided to take my own advice for once and I wrote down some things I should be keeping in mind everyday. I wrote out some things that I need to remember and some I know to be true for myself. I wanted to write this post to challenge you all to do the same. I want to challenge you to write down the beautiful things about yourself or things that you want to see in yourself that others continually see in you. I know during the holiday season it is highly encouraged to give to others (which is a beautiful and amazing thing), but remember to give words of affirmation to yourself as well. I know this wasn't a typical post of mine with an "all is good in the world" kind of feel, but here is the closest thing to that: Remember that you have a say in your life and that you and your own voice matters more than you'll ever be able to comprehend. Life isn't meant to be taken on alone, so if you need to talk to someone then talk to them. Lastly, remember that you are your own worst critic and that no matter what is going on in your life right now was supposed to happen to possibly teach you something, inspire you, or maybe have you appreciate the good days over the bad days. Someone loves you and I hope you love yourself too, because you're pretty great. -Kariann
