You Are A Fucking Goddess, Don't Forget That

It's so easy to lose faith in yourself, to lose faith in your body.

Deep down you know you're an awesome, amazing, a fucking goddamn beautiful, GODDESS, but those little niggling thoughts, those nasty words from a stranger in person or online, that feeling that you're not doing enough, not good enough, not pretty enough, just simply not enough, can take over and bring you down and make everything so much freaking harder than it needs to be.

Add in children and you start worrying about them, if you’re a good enough mother...

Sometimes you wonder if maybe they might not be better off without you, or maybe that you made a mistake having kids and just simply aren’t cut out for this motherhood thing.

Sometimes you feel guilty, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes happy or excited or completely over the moon, sometimes you feel all of that all at once and then wonder why you’re feeling that way.

Sometimes you feel like you’ve failed, that you didn’t do it right, or messed up so badly that there’s no forgiveness for what you’ve done. Sometimes you’re so anxious that you can’t even leave the house, or can’t let your children out of your sight, or can’t even face your partner or your children that day.

And sometimes it just feels too damn fucking hard. You can’t do it, can’t be who everyone expects you to be, and somehow, somewhere along the way you may have lost something of yourself, something important, and you don’t know how to get it back and that makes you feel awful, unfinished, incomplete, lost, out of control and completely down mentally and emotionally.

You’ve forgotten about how wonderful you are, when those thoughts start going round and round in circles in your mind, you’ve forgotten how beautiful you are inside and out, when you look in the mirror and only see what society/culture tells you isn't beautiful. You may feel awkward and weird when someone compliments you, and brush off the kind words like they don't matter. They do matter, because they are the TRUTH! But you may have forgotten that truth for now, it won’t last forever and one day you’ll see it clearly again.

You may have forgotten about all of those things that you are so good at, those things that make you so wonderfully special and unique and make you YOU.

Darling you are beautiful, you are special, you are awesome and perfect just as you are.

Don't try to change yourself for others, keep on being yourself, keep on being that wonderful beautiful amazing Goddess that I know you are.

Even if you can’t see that Goddess, or feel her, she’s there deep down inside of you giving you the strength to keep going even when you’re at rock bottom.

She’s there whispering quiet encouragement when you feel like you’re failing.

She’s still there even when you can’t hear her over the noise that your darkest thoughts create.

She’s still there when you think that you can’t go on.

She’s still in there.

She’s in you.

A part of you.

She IS YOU.

And YOU ARE HER.

So take some time for yourself, some time to reconnect with her, your inner Goddess.

Focus inwards, open yourself up to hearing what she has to say.

Listen to her, hear what she has to say, find that part of yourself again that was lost deep within you.
