The greatest battle you'll ever fight is the one within yourself—within your own mind. It's the struggle to accept yourself as you are, while your thoughts whisper a thousand criticisms: "You're too thin." "You need to lose weight." "You look unwell without makeup." "Your hair's a mess." "Your stretch marks make you unattractive." And on it goes. It's exhausting. Draining. To live with the constant fear that perhaps you're not truly worthy of love after all. To carry the weight of a worry-that the people you cherish most might turn away if they ever see your imperfections. You tell yourself they deserve better, yet the idea of them walking away remains your worst nightmare. When there's too much chaos in your inner world, it becomes difficult to embrace the good that surrounds you. And what breaks your heart the most is how badly you want to reach out to the light—but it feels impossible to touch.
