Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
e. e. cummings
First, find all the parts of you that have been scattered and hidden over the years. Life does that to you. It pushes you around trying to get you to lose yourself, in order to conform to its ways. But there’s so much of you worthy of trusting of believing in. Don’t go out without giving yourself a chance to shine. It took me some time to finally trust myself. The one things that helped me most was getting rid of all the toxic people in my circle. The ones that didn’t have my best intentions in mind. Once I purged my circle, I began to heal. I began to give the positive parts of me more attention and my belief in myself my art my abilities grew stronger over time. I still am aware of my shortcomings and realize that I’m not perfect but at the same time, I’m good enough. And that works for me.
Have you found parts of yourself that you’re proud of? For me, I’m proud of my ability to try new things and accept that I’m a beginner. This is important to me because for sooo long, I was too afraid to even try new things. Now I try them scared. My life is fuller and more rich for it.
