Take a moment and think about all the hardships in your life. How well did you treat yourself? If you're like me, probably not very well. However, you say a lot of things to yourself that you should take back. These are just a few of the things you owe yourself an apology for. Remember that you are important, and tell yourself you are sorry. Here are just a couple of those things to apologize for.
1. "I'm not good enough for him."
You're a fantastic person, there's no need for you to bring yourself down like that. If you're interested in him, go after him. He could be scared you're too good for him.
2. "I want my life to be a fairytale."
Fairytales are meant for books, not reality. But, no one wants everything to go perfectly. Imagine how boring life would be if it did? A little crazy is OK.
3. "I'm not pretty enough to be her friend."
Pretty should never be a social standing. Everyone is gorgeous, and if she won't be your friend, she's not worth having as a friend. Find someone who means the world to you.
4. "I'm always going to be alone."
Sometimes the boy you like isn't going to ask you out, but that's OK. Just remember, sometimes you can make the first move too. Take that risk and step off the social norm.
5. "I have to lose weight for them."
Never ever lose weight for anyone but yourself. Your weight does not affect anyone but you. Do not allow someone who treats you poorly bring you down.
6. "They'll judge me if I tell them."
Your real friends are going to be there for you no matter what. If you're worried about them judging you they might not be very good friends in the end. Everyone needs to find their Non-Judging Breakfast Club.
7. "He won't cheat on me again."
As much as you want to believe he has changed, he probably hasn't. Don't let him back into your life just for him to walk all over you and leave again. You are so strong, move on and find the best person for you!
8. "I just want to give up."
As tough as everything seems right now, I promise you will get through it. Don't give up on yourself quite yet. You're a lot tougher than you know. No matter how hard it is, you will make it through.
9. "My parents probably hate me."
Parents know you have to go through an idiot stage. However, they've been through one too. So no matter how angry they get at you, just realize they could never hate you.
10. "I'm not a princess."
Just because life isn't a fairytale, this doesn't mean you're not a princess. You wear that invisible crown with pride. Life is hard. You earned it.
11. "I'll never forgive myself."
Life throws you a lot of curveballs. You're not always going to make the right decision, and sometimes you're going to hit rock bottom. You're not always going to be happy, or happy with yourself. But you need to always learn to forgive yourself. You are your own best friend, love yourself.
