To Begin
Don't be
so hard on yourself.
Be kind
to yourself.
No one knows
what you've been through
better than
you.
And no one
is going to give you
the kind of love
you deserve
other than
yourself.
Be kind to yourself.
Be good to yourself.
Take care
of yourself.
It may take
some time.
And it may take
some trials and tribulations
to get
to that point.
But believe me
when I say
in the end,
it will be
the greatest gift
you have ever
received.
Be kind to yourself.
Love yourself.
And be patient
with yourself.
You deserve these types
of soft things
and a lot more
than you think.
You know it.
And I know it, too.
