Looking Glass

She whispers sweet nothings into my ear.
I listen intently. I don't believe her.
One thing's for certain nothing is perfect in this world.
Giving me compliments every day does nothing for my personal growth.
Only well deserved compliments have merit.
Tell me what I did right and explain where I could make some improvements.
The goal for me is not to be perfect but to do better than I did yesterday.
There is no such thing as perfect and if you expect perfection you will be disappointed every time.
I don't see the glass as half full or half empty. I see a glass that contains something were nothing initially existed. I see progress. I see both sides of the fence. I see the good and the bad.
There is also a grey area. Before I make any decisions I must assess all logically possible areas.
I use to put my own emotional health at risk just to make someone else happy. Not use to, I still do. It's the sad truth. People are humans, unfortunately given the opportunity they might hurt you whether intentional or not. Even when you only do things because you want to the feeling of being treated unfairly is enough to unsettle you. There is nothing I hate more than being treated unfairly. I do things for people because I want to but the least I am asking is that I am not treated like mere dust.
However because of past experiences I have decided that from now on I will put myself above others. Because I love myself more. And anytime I feel the need to do something nice I will go to a homeless shelter to lend a helping hand. Never will I ever let anyone treat me like I don't deserve respect.

And when that happened I realized it was high time I defined who I was. That meant only doing things that made me happy and choosing only to do things that I wanted to do. I became happy. Along with that came lots of people who didn't like me, but that comes along with being yourself. Truly loving yourself is being okay with the fact that not everyone will like you. And that has to be okay. No longer doing things just because mom and dad wants you to, but rather researching and explaining why you want to choose a different path. Being respectful and having your facts ready helps in this situation. With that being said I have achieved a level of happiness that I never thought I was missing before. I fell in love with a man who is so in love with who he is that the strength of love that he has for me is inexplicable. The l...
