How can one love one’s self despite the faults?
I am having a hard time loving myself. Though there are times that I try to say something good, reality kicks in and hits me right on my face. We are always reminded by our failures more than our achievements. I feel like somewhere down the road of trying to be an adult and cope up with the responsibilities tied with it I have lost myself. Frankly at times I feel like I do not even know who I am anymore. I do not know if I am a good person or a bad person. I do not know if I enjoy the sunrise or sunset. There are many excuses for things that I have done and consequences I have to face. But is this really who I am? Maybe, psychiatric help is needed to ease one’s mind. I have admitted my faults in life but I do not think I have accepted them. How can I accept that I have failed myself? Remember the greatest question that we ask kids all the time? What do you want to be when you grow up? Now I dread those days when I had answered them so enthusiastically that I see myself getting married with 4 kids and a descent house with 2 dogs. That may seems so simple to some but a blurry and distant dream to me.

hey mel!
once you've accepted how life turned out for you, it might be easier to love yourself more. Don't be too hard on yourself. Life is too short to worry.
hugs...
Hi Meliza! :)
Thanks for dropping by my blog, it's always nice to hear from folks from all walks of life! ;)
I think sometimes, our expectations tend to kill the joy in us and that's why we get frustrated. You know (and I learned this the hard way too), that faults are what make us UNIQUE. :)
You are beautiful, no matter what they say... and loving oneself is the start of seeing more beautiful things - in others. :)
Hello there! My pappa always say that we are the worst critic of ourselves.
And it's quite true. I am still not contented on how I look and I wish sometimes that I look more caucasian as my mom's side of the family looks like. Probably it's the colonial mentality but I am glad that I am not dark and still has a little bit of latino glow. And in the end I am beginning to love myself more now.
Acceptance is always the best way to handle life. After the acceptance comes the willingness to change for the better :) Cheer up, there's so much more in life we need to explore!
