I think it’s okay….

I think it’s okay….

I think it’s okay that your

chronic empathic anxiety

fear of rejection

struggle to accept imperfection

impulsive urge to please others and

genuine desire to do good

resulted in an authentic radiance that shined brighter than they could bear.

I think it’s okay that they were overwhelmed by your all-consuming love. That they hated you because you wished they would reject all of the parts they hated about their selves. That they both loved and hated you for being you.

Maybe it’s easier for them to hate you than it is to hate their self. Maybe it’s better this way. And maybe that’s okay.

I think it’s not okay that you

dulled your sunshine

doubted your greatness

replaced happiness with carbs and

compromised yourself.

I think it’s okay to believe you are

bold

brilliant

beloved

beautiful

wild

worthy

wise

whole.

It’s really hard to love yourself

to be uncompromising and

to put yourself first,

but you’re doing it!

And I think it’s okay.
