Joely, I agree with your friend. It's crucial that we accept ourselves completely for who we are and where we are at now. If we don't accept ourselves, we can't expect anyone else to. We're searching for an external approval when what we really need is approval from ourselves.
That's awesome that you got a paying job writing! I've found that I've had to work doing things in a field that I'm not necessarilly thrilled about, but are moving me to getting closer to doing what I want. That's a big step in the right direction. =) |
