The Cougar Corner
Happiness
From awful to great
When I let things go
Remember that I’m
Beautiful
Good
Right
Worthy
Wonderful
Safe
And stop believing the voices that say I’m
Ugly
Bad
Wrong
Unworthy
Monstrous
In danger
That’s when I remember the truth.
When I stop trying to find peace, validation, confirmation of my worth externally,
That’s when I find it inside
In my beautiful heart that remembers that
My only job is to be.
