What a shame. We grew up never believing that we were beautiful,
because no one ever told us that we were. We made friends who liked to complain about their stomachs, noses, and the size of their thighs. And we joined in because that's what you do, isn't it? And so, we never told ourselves, either.
In 8th grade, a boy we barely knew calls us fat. We will never know if he
was joking, or why. We were bullied about our long, messy hair. So we chop it all off. And we became invisible. It was years before we resurfaced, before we learned to do things just for the sake of ourselves.
Someone tells us we're beautiful, and now, we don't believe them. But, we
have new friends and they tell us, too. And then we hear it from a stranger. Mom apologizes for not telling us enough when we were younger. And slowly, we start to belive it. And now, we know.
We know that, despite everything we'd been told, being beautiful has
nothing to do with our worth. But, how unfortunate, we think, that we couldn't know we were beautiful until someone else told us that we were.
We were never even told it was an option.

My self-worth
isn't determined
by stupid people who
need to point out my flaws.

Perhaps we just need little reminders from time to time that we are already dignified, deserving, worthy.

I think the key to overcoming shyness is when you realize that your worth does not come from any human being. You're not here to impress anyone. You don't need anyone's approval.

Holding our heads high
We walk for the good
Reaching for glory, hands to the sky
Doing as we think we should.
Dancing to the beat of our own drums
Hold tight to love, and close our heart songs
Following the trail of life's bread crumbs
Sounding of the death bells, lingering dongs.
We search for truth in the dark
Finding lies hidden in the light
Only when our souls embark
We will know it wasn't right
Follow your own way to glory
You are not alone in this adventure
Look forward to this journey
Find the meaning to what is yours

Maybe we should just kill all the mirrors, that way we won't kill ourselves.

i don't love myself,
but I get irritated when I'm cut off in the middle of my sentence, as if what I have to say isn't as important as what the interrupter does. I don't love myself, but I feel indignant disbelief when I'm ignored or seemingly forgotten by so-called friends for weeks or months at a time. I don't love myself, but I believe I deserve an apology when I have been wronged, and am angry when it never comes. I don't love myself, but I don't allow people to talk rudely of my interests and invalidate my feelings about those interests. I don't love myself, but I'm stung by whispers behind my back; I'm worth honesty, even of the brutal sort. I don't love myself, but lies to my face are insults to my intelligence – and I do know I have plenty of it. I don't love myself, but I'm bitterly jealous when I'm the last to know something significant about someone I care for, and when another's advice on a difficult situation is sought out instead of mine; I believe I offer valuable counsel. I don't love myself, but I don't understand when others don't love me. Maybe I don't hate myself as much as I thought I did. Maybe I'm finally beginning to realize that I amount to more than what some have tried to make me believe I do.

I don’t want to have to say, looking back, that I was very fluent with breaking my own heart when it came to self-worth.

Don’t hold on just because you think there’s no one else. There will always be someone else. You’ve got to believe you’re worth more than being repeatedly hurt by someone who doesn’t really care and believe that someone will see what you’re really worth and treat you the way you should be treated.

“
You are a weapon. People deny their own strength because they are afraid of their own strength. Whether it’s a corrupt government or an abusive lover, those who seek to control you want you to forget your strength, because they are afraid of you. And they should be afraid.

Breaking off pieces of yourself to fit into places will not help you belong, it will only make you bleed. Tearing yourself into half to fit in will not help you belong, it will only take your soul. The only way you will ever belong is when you feel complete without anyone reassuring you that you are. You are valid. Alone, or with company. Do not let anything convince you otherwise.
— Nikita Gill

You must teach your sense of self
To stand upon its own two feet,
Instead of propped up on the views
Of every person that you meet.

Everyone tells me to be myself.
But what happens when being myself never seems to be enough?

Recovery
Realizing you're worth it
Experiencing true happiness
Caring about yourself
Overcoming your own demons
Validating your worth
Eating without regret
Relapse - it's going to happen, it's inevitable and that's okay
Yearning to live
