Don't settle for a world of gray.

A song made me think about something last night. How much bad stuff we take in and accept as being part of our lives... and we do this instead of accepting or self critique. It's so much harder to face that you hate yourself in some ways rather than other people hating you. After all you're supposed to be your own best friend. .. just sometimes you really don't want to.

Not that I'm in this state of mind entirely at the moment. ..it just made me realize this after hearing the lyrics :
"if you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself up, if your legs have given up under the weight, if you find that you've been settling for a world of gray; so you wouldn't have to face down your own hate"

And that's really what we do sometimes, because we don't understand our beauty and worth. . Isn't that scary?

In the first place we might've created hate because that's what the world told us about ourselves. ... so is that the truth?
No. There's always love. We're all loved. You yourself know by who. Your creator. Up to you to believe it or not.
BUT I don't really think that's the biggest issue. The biggest issue is believing you are worthy of that love.

No one gets it. It doesn't make sense, while we stumble on our journey trying to make it right after seeing so many wrongs.

Don't settle for a world of gray. Take the love.
