I carry a small sheet of paper in my wallet that has written on it the names of people whose opinions of me matter. To be on that list, you have to love me for my strengths and struggles.

I love to take, process and share photos - it fills me up.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

I want people to love me, but it's not going to hurt me if they don't.

You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

The best love that you can give is to love yourself, in spite of your mistakes, in spite of your failures and in spite of your shortcomings. We are who we are, all we have to be is the best we are and rise from that point. Nobody can dictate who you are supposed to be, unless you give up that power. Embrace who you are and embrace those who love you "As Is". Sharock P.
