I was unlovable.
Nothing good ever happened to me.
No one in my family liked me.
I was plain.
I could never get Life right.
I was lonely. All. The. Time.
I was scared. All. The. Time.
I was lost.
I didn’t know who I was.
The Most Important Person In My World Died.
No one understood me.
I was a freak.
I had the wrong clothes, the wrong words, the wrong hair, the wrong everything.
I was bullied.
I had a chronic illness.
I had anxiety so severe, at times I could not function.
I almost died.
I had a very sick kid.
I had a failed marriage.
I couldn’t make a romantic relationship last more than a few months.
I lost friends. Lots and lots of friends.
Those are only some of the stories I could tell myself. If I cared to. But I don’t. Our Lives are a clean page. A new chance to write ‘Once upon a time…” with every single breath. We don’t even have to wait for tomorrow — we can start with the very next breath.
