I tell myself today will be different
I won’t blame myself
I’ll love the body I’m in
I’m okay
But this picture-perfect idea that
Healing isn’t messy
And feeling is binary
You’re either happy or sad
It’s bullshit
Because it’s a struggle
And working on myself
Is a lifelong process
I don’t have to be what you think
I don’t have to love myself every day
I don’t have to be anything you want
I am
Flawed
I am
Different
I am
Valid
These feelings
Are valid
I tell myself today will be different
It is.
Valid.
