Hiya there, Lovelies. Hope all is going well for you, truly madly deeply. Today I have decided to forgive myself. I let my self-esteem and self-doubt truly madly deeply affect my natural beauty. My teeth and hair need to heal. It is not something that I’m proud of. As a matter of fact, I feel great shame for what has happened. Thankfully, I was able to forgive myself and was able to start my perfectly imperfect self-healing journey. “Forgiveness is a powerful tool for well-being, significantly boosting mental and physical health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression while improving heart health, sleep, and immunity, and fostering healthier relationships; it’s an act of self-care that releases emotional burdens, allowing for greater resilience, peace, and life satisfaction by choosing to let go of resentment, not condoning harm.” 

Lovelies, my low self-esteem has taken more from me than just my looks. It has also taken away my dreams at one point. I remember being 18 years old, bright-eyed, wanting to be successful, yet not believing I would succeed, so I never tried. I would write my stories in my notebooks and never publish them. It really makes me sad to think about where I would be now if I had followed my dreams. Forgiving myself for these lost opportunities was not easy. I was feeling a lot of shame and guilt for letting my life pass me by. Nevertheless, I understand that it takes a lot of guts to follow your dreams and never give up. In my older years, I’m able to fight for my dreams and understand the consequences of giving up again. Lovelies’ forgiveness gives a feeling of being free like no other. It’s a huge burden that you no longer have to deal with. So, forgive yourself for your peace of mind. Remember you are perfectly imperfect, and that is beautiful, truly madly deeply. Moreover, the best lessons are learned from making mistakes. So don’t be afraid to fall. Just enjoy the free fall. Then have a laugh, then get back up and try again. Forgive yourself and show yourself some compassion. Love yourself enough to know that you are much more than your mistakes. What defines you is your perseverance. I love you lovelies. I’m going to bid you farewell for now. See you next time. Bye.
