Tired

I look to a day when people will not judge me by my past; but by the content of my heart and character. Because I'm tired of proving myself. I'm tired of pleasing others so as they will love me and accept me for who I am. I'm tired of proving myself worthy of others' expectation. I just wanna be me and be loved because this is me. I am not perfect. Not everything is under my control. Things are happening as they are. Some are good, some are bad. But, I'm tired of being judge because of the mistakes happened in my life. I don't know whether it's me or the whole world around me that has gone wrong, but I keep trying and get up everyday with new hope and faith. We all have past - some not so great and some not half bad - but we all have futures. And in everyday of my life, I want to look what is there waiting for me; rather than look back. I am who I am.

We often ignore ourselves in favor of others. We value their opinions too highly and our own too little. The only real approval that matters is that which comes from inside ourselves. We're the only people who know what we truly need and want. This makes us our own best judge of whether or not what we're doing is right and good for us.
