Learning to love yourself

I used to think to love myself
I needed validation from other people
But the truth is you only need validation from yourself
Because you have to live with your thoughts and feelings everyday

Am I beautiful? Am I worth enough for people?
Am I too skinny? Am I too overweight?
Will I be considered as normal in society?
Lots of unknowns and questions only we can answer
What is the true meaning of the word normal I don't know
The word normal is as fluid as the autism spectrum
Don't be so hard on yourself because nobody's perfect
Everybody makes mistakes that's how we learn and grow
If I got graded for mistakes I made I'd get an A+
Our mind lies to us and creates a false narrative
About how we feel and think about ourselves

It's an art to learn to love yourself and let go
Of all the questions of what if or am I good enough
The truth is we weren't born with this skill
But if I can get close to learning to love myself
So can you I have faith I've seen miracles before
I've seen old dogs learn new tricks it can happen
I'm putting good energy and vibes into the universe
For all the people that believe it's impossible

Our brains take the path of least resistance
That's why we have negative self talk
Why am I ugly? Why do people not like me?
We all experience these thoughts maybe once a day or week
The more we challenge those thoughts overtime they will disappear
It's ok to feel your emotions and cry hysterically
Whatever you have to do to love yourself do it
Because part of loving yourself is taking care of yourself
Even if that means saying no to friends who want you to go out
It's ok to set boundaries and not feel forced to do it all
It's easy to be a yes man but it won't please you in the end
What will make you happy is learning to love yourself

It's an art to learn to love yourself and let go
Of all the questions of what if or am I good enough
The truth is we weren't born with this skill
But if I can get close to learning to love myself
So can you I have faith I've seen miracles before
I've seen old dogs learn new tricks it can happen
I'm putting good energy and vibes into the universe
For all the people that believe it's impossible

Take it one day at a time or even one minute
This is a lifelong journey and process
There is no set finish line or destination
This is a completely subjective result
