Sometimes our pain is a soaring mountain, coming from its sides are rivers of anxiety and raining down is helplessness from the roaring storm if doubt and regret, behind you is a wall of shame ready to consume you. It takes great effort not to curl up and drown in that helplessness, not to sink into that anxiety, not to be consumed by your shame, and to scale that damn mountain of pain to reach the end, and find the bright light. That one bright light is your self love, the key to finally understand that you are worth it, you deserve love. Now it will not be easy, there will be no guarantee that you wont slide off the rocks or fall down, it wont be easy but people love you, and those people will help you climb that mountain
