Stay with yourself

When you've been left behind all your life, all you'll ever know is the feeling of abandonment.

It doesn't feel good...

So, you work all your life trying to figure out how not to feel this awful feeling.

You try to package yourself in a "lovable" size.

Then, if that doesn't work, you try even harder.

In our efforts, we succeed in creating a generic, likable version of ourselves.

In the end, all you need to do is stay with yourself. Learn to hug, love, and nurture yourself.

As long as you continue to do these --- how the world sees you will matter less and less.
