An Apology To Myself
A Personal Comeback:
Life has a way of teaching us lessons, sometimes through experiences we never asked for or deserved. As I stand at this turning point in my journey, I realize the importance of making amends with myself. This time, the comeback is personal, and it begins with an apology to the one person I've often overlooked—myself.
Acknowledging the Past
For years, I tolerated the intolerable and accepted the unacceptable. I allowed myself to be ensnared in situations and relationships that chipped away at my self-worth. I gave away pieces of myself in the hope of finding something similar to love or acceptance. But now, I recognize that those experiences, though painful, were never a reflection of who I am or what I deserve.
Apologizing for Neglect
To my past self, I am sorry for the times I silenced your voice to keep peace, for the moments I ignored your needs to satisfy others, and for the instances I doubted your worth. I am sorry for not protecting your heart when it was vulnerable and for not standing up for you when the world seemed to push you down. You deserved so much more than what you settled for, and for that, I apologize.
Embracing Forgiveness
With this apology comes the promise of forgiveness. I forgive myself for the choices I made when I didn't know better. I forgive myself for the mistakes that were part of my growth. Holding onto guilt and regret only serves to bind me to a past I am ready to release. By forgiving myself, I open the door to healing and transformation.
Moving Forward with Purpose
This personal comeback is not just about acknowledging past pain but about embracing a future of promise. It's about setting boundaries that honor my worth and cultivating relationships that nurture my soul. It's about living authentically, embracing every aspect of who I am, and cherishing the journey of self-discovery.
A Commitment to Self-Love
I commit to celebrating my victories, no matter how small, and to nurturing the dreams I once put aside. I choose to surround myself with love, positivity, and people who uplift me. Most importantly, I vow to treat myself with the kindness and compassion that I deserve, recognizing that my journey is unique and my story is worth telling.
This is new chapter, I carry with me the lessons of the past, the strength of my resilience, and the unwavering belief that I am deserving of all the beauty life has to offer. This comeback is personal, and it is a testament to the power of self-love and the courage to begin anew.
