BEING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes we need people to show us our reflection- to show us the good things about us that we leave on the back burner and focus on the negative aspects and beat ourselves up over it for all eternity. These negative things are only as big as the importance that you give them. Dwell on them forever and it’s as good as getting it branded into your bones. Forget about it five minutes after it happens, and it’s erased at that very instant.
Have you ever wondered how certain people you know, do the most awful things and are still able to sleep peacefully at night? You think to yourself-“God! If I had done a quarter of the things that he/she had done, I would’ve killed myself ages ago!” The difference between these people and you is that they don’t dwell on these unpleasant things as long as you do. And you start to wonder about your strengths as a person- falling apart over things that are really not that big.

Everybody has a person who is their mirror that shows them the things that are admirable about them. They are there to remind you that you don’t completely suck, that you deserve more than the crappy hand that you were dealt and in a way it becomes your consolation for a while.
This sort of answers the question above. Those people are able to get over those awful things that they did and sleep peacefully at night because they have people telling them how awesome they are. You have people telling you that you’re awesome too but the only difference is that those other people believe it and you don’t. Therefore you continue to fall apart over things, that in theory, aren’t really that big and they move on from experiences that are far more devastating.
It has nothing to do with strength or character or anything like that. It is your reflection that makes it that way –the way you perceive yourself, the way others perceive you and perceptions that you choose to take in and the ones you choose to leave out.
