The voice that my mind uses to communicate internally is the most cruel, unnecessarily rude, critical, and ignorant, entity I know. You can, however, make the choice to shut it out and realize that the parts of you that you are constantly worried or insecure about are the few traits that set you a part from everyone else. You are the only person you have to put up with, so be nice to yourself. How can someone else love you unconditionally if you haven’t been able to show yourself what that really feels like?
