"You doubt your value, don't run from who you are."

Never doubt who you are. 

Period. End of story and no negotiations.

When I think about myself, theres a lot of times where I don't value myself, either in my mind, my body or even my heart. 

My body is my own, and sometimes I forget frequently that I need to take care of it and I need to treat it with some respect. There so many things that I want to do, but I can't. Like eat fifty tacos, but I value my health so I don't do that. 

My mind is my own, but most times I don't give it the respect it deserves. It's always hungry for more. Wanting the things that it can't have; its a curious little thing, just always soaking up whatever information it can get its little talons on. Trying and seeking and often times reaching the pinnacle of what I think is the top. I always need more. 

My heart: it's a wild, untamed place that I don't even understand. It's broken, jagged, and to my belief ruined. I know deep down in my heart that it's not, that I just gave it to the wrong people to have and to hold. I didn't value my heart when it was my own and expected others to take care of it. 

Sometimes if I'm really feeling like it, I let other people love me and give my heart away when I know that I shouldn't. I fall in love when I know that it will never be returned. I love whole heartedly, wanting nothing but the best for someone even though I know nothing will ever come of it. That I will never be loved in return. 

I don't think thats valuing my heart.

I think the point of this whole post, was to explain to everyone; that sometimes we let ourselves go and that we make silly choices, but to never forget that when you come back to yourself you can't forget who you are inside. 

I am a woman, who wants to be cherished and to be loved and to be valued, and I am a woman that wants to cherish and to love and to value as well.
