DENIED

If you died
Right now
Ask yourself
What have you lied
To yourself
About.

SELF-ACCEPTANCE

My whole life has been a long series of attempts to destroy my unworthy self. Only after I succeeded, did I realise what I had lost.

Love yourself. Yourself is not just ALL you have, it is WHAT you are. There is nothing else you can ever be. Don’t waste your life. You become better by growth, not by psychological self-mutilation.
