Birth
I came into the world
And cried with joy from the first moment
I was perfect
A pristine crystal
Laughed all the time
My universe was joyous
Anything and everything was possible
Toddler
Life was fun
But people started telling me what to do
And making up things about me
Things seemed more complicated
Began to wonder what I was doing wrong
Was I not good enough?
Childhood
Life was more complicated
I had to conform
Life was still a joy
But I was not laughing so much
I had self doubts
What was I doing here?
What was I to do with my life?
Adulthood
Life was hard
Nothing seemed to work
Stopped loving myself
Stopped others loving me
What happened to the joy of living?
Today
Had a wake up call
Fell in love once again with life and myself
I approve of myself
I love myself just the way I am
Life is joyous
I am like a new born baby
I have always been a pristine crystal
I just didn’t know it till now
A true story.
My story.
Your story too
