Self Love 2022 Review
“Remember, MK, you are all you've been seeking for. You are loved.”
— Her message to me
Self Love Year End Review:
Yesterday my mom saw the image of my bald self going around on social media. She asked me why I posted it. Instead of responding I asked her why she sounded disappointed. We both responded to each other and I laughed it off.
But, in truth, I'd share it because I Am Proud of how far I've come. The opinion of others never even crossed my mind when I looked at that picture until my mom mentioned it. It was only then I had realized that since I've started my reflection journey, 3 years ago, every single year that had gone by I've been slowly falling more and more in with myself.
As of to date out of all the challenges I've gone through these past 3 years, the moment I'm most proud of was when I shaved my head this past October. I did it for me.
Yes, I shaved my head and got ordained.
When I shaved my head, I let go of the past. I let go of everything and everyone that no longer served me. I let go of all that has been holding me back for the past 24 years. I let go of all the unnecessary baggages.
When I shaved my head, I accepted all the good and the bad that's yet to come knowing fully it can't hurt me unless I allow it to.
I remembered that day the day I said, "Yes," to shaving my head. It was the first and proudest YES I had ever say in my entire life.
When I started my reflection journey I thought that was my rebirth but no - the day I shaved my head was my rebirth.
In past official 2 months I've noticed that I've been smiling a lot more organically. The inner child is finally out embracing her life, she's no longer hidden and protected. When I look in the mirror my focused is now clear and focused strictly on the individual in the mirror.
I saw my own glow and confidence.
I no longer see a broken and starving soul but I saw a brave, courageous, and beautiful soul and I love her for all she was and is.
Her message to me:
"Remember, MK, you are all you've been seeking for. You are loved."
Reflection (Ask yourself - How would you respond?):
What is love to me?
