How do you even start to love yourself?

I’ve been struggling with my self-image a lot with getting a new job, whether it’s about my competence or how I look. And today after talking with my partner I’m realizing that my insecurities have gotten so out of control that it’s affecting those around me because I am afraid that I’m not enough for them. It scared me and broke my heart, and I’ve never hated myself so much. But it also made me realize how much hating myself in large and small ways is a constant presence in my life. I want to change that to give myself peace and also show up as a better person for the people I love. I just have no idea where I’m even supposed to start.

You have started.

Because you've said the words.

You've been honest.

You know something needs to change.

You deserve to feel happy and content with who you are.

To believe in yourself.

You should be proud that you want to put in the work, it takes time but it's possible 💜💕
