Learning To Love Myself

by alex aubrey

my biggest fear is never being loved the way i want to be loved

questioning myself questioning my worth was it me or was it them?

ask yourself why are you still holding on? does it feel good or is it just familiar?

if you keep waiting for change you will always be waiting

i don’t think i can do this anymore but what if i am wrong?

but how many more signs do you need for you to know what you already knew?

i don’t want half of anything give me everything or don’t give it to me at all

we accept what we think we deserve but there is no limit on what you can become

you can’t keep pouring into a broken cup you will empty yourself and the cup will still be empty

stop shrinking yourself to fit other people

stop choosing what isn’t choosing you

it is okay to let go of people who do not make you feel good

the thing you are so scared of is going to change your life

choose the people who choose you

you are scared because it matters

the only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves

there is still time for you to be who you want to be

stop hurting yourself over people who don’t care about you

i want you to know that this is about me and not about you and i want you to know that it will never be about you ever again

don’t chase after love chase after life instead and life will love you back

it is better to bend a little than to break

whatever belongs to you will simply find you

by letting you go i have saved myself

what is meant for you is already happening

you will always find your way back to yourself

taking care of yourself at your worst is the bravest thing you can ever do

i choose to let go of people who make me overthink and question myself.

today, i choose to stop hurting myself.

give yourself the same patience you give others

the answer was right in front of me all along

your worth is not determined by anyone else’s opinion

i am so grateful that i didn’t end up with what i thought i wanted
