do you know what's amazing? when you wake up one morning with a gentle smile and a warmth in your heart that tells you how at ease you are. when you no longer compare yourself to others or think that you're not good enough. when you stop counting your imperfections and start counting your blessings - the blessing of having a kind heart and a strong soul, the blessing of loving too much because it makes you feel alive. do you know what's amazing? when you stop looking at your shortcomings as embarrassments and start embracing them, because they are a part of you and they make you beautiful. when you look back at every mistake and stop reprimanding yourself for it, and instead, you accept that you're only human and things are bound to go wrong. when you lay all the lessons before you and stop letting them cause you pain - rather, you use them to become better. do you know what's amazing? when you finally look in the mirror and tell yourself that I am proud of how far I've come, and I have a beautiful long journey ahead.
when you get to a point where you have nothing but good wishes for those who hurt you in the past or did you wrong, because you're a good person and now you see it as blessing rather than a curse. and the most amazing thing is when you keep coming through from bad experiences, even stronger than before, because it shows just how far you've come and how much you've grown.
