Have You Ever Felt the Same Way? Once, I Didn’t Like Myself
A Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Love
Once, I didn’t like myself,
I even fantasized about being someone else,
playing their part for a few days.
Once, I didn’t like myself,
from head to toe,
inside and out,
from my voice to my body.
Once, I didn’t like myself.
When others praised and complimented me,
I took it as polite flattery;
when others criticized me,
I absorbed every word, remembered every syllable.
Once, I didn’t like myself.
I disliked my appearance,
lacking a tall figure or slender fingers;
I disliked my mediocrity,
envying others’ talents and skills;
I disliked my awkwardness,
always regretting not saying or doing things better;
I disliked my sensitivity,
being hurt by others’ unintentional words or glances.
Then,
the heavens sent various people to guide me,
events that made me ponder,
all to awaken me,
with a truly persistent intention!
Finally,
slow as I am, I gradually realized:
If “I” don’t love myself,
how can I expect others to love me?
If I don’t love “myself”,
how can I have the ability to love others?
When I began to love myself,
I saw the surprises life holds,
and found the meaning of existence!
