“You will bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you open because the world needs you open. You are going somewhere sacred. It will be worth it. And you’re closer than you think.” - Rebecca Campbell
I remember being younger and feeling irrelevant. I remember being in unhealthy relationships and feeling irrelevant. I remember being in bad friendships and feeling irrelevant. I remember feeling unloved and unwanted. As the wheels of my life spun, I was met with rejection it seemed, in every direction until I realized the trajectory of my path was a direct reflection of my inability to see myself.
My inability to see myself as deserving and worthy, for I had no idea what love of self meant. My inability to see myself as a whole and complete extension of God. My inability to accept myself as unique, different and one of a kind. I couldn’t find the joy in being in Rashina. I wanted to blend in, yet I never belonged. I never found peace or love of self trying to be anyone else. Therefore I attracted people, relationships and situations from that deficit. I attracted things that mirrored the inadequacy I felt about “self”. For those things didn’t “love me” just like I didn’t “love me”.
Many years and experiences later, I accept my divinity and I know my worth. I also know that I am but a piece of a puzzle of so many that have experienced a lack of self-love too. I encounter people young and old, men and women, who all still struggle with seeing themselves...still struggle with loving themselves from a pure, nonjudgmental place. I see a need, to be a vessel for the very thing that broke me down and cracked me open. My self-love inspirational journal is complete.
