Explore the corners of your mind. Your eyes will adjust to the darkness, your stamina will guide you, but you must take an extra step deeper each time. You cannot truly love yourself and simultaneously fear your innermost thoughts. You are strong enough to experience the worst about you, and to sit with her, and work through it all. Quit suppressing; start processing. To live, is to be free; release yourself, forgive yourself; the past is set in stone, but you have the power to create your own fate. Shame and regret have no hold here; you will rise from the ashes of burnt bridges, and move on with a rewritten book of matches. Confront the mirror, shatter any self-doubt, for you do not need to be a reflection of the negative thoughts about yourself.
