ONE BIG MISTAKE

Sometimes I view my self-worth as the cumulative goodness, 

brokenness, stupidity, and perfection of my actions. 

Something like this:

But then I have to remind myself, I am not my mistakes. I am not a mistake. I am a person who makes mistakes. But those mistakes are temporal. In the eternal scheme of things, I'm not one big mistake, 

I AM A MIRACLE!!!!

ISSUE vs. IDENTITY

“If there’s one thing I see as the biggest problem, it’s not in building a world where we eliminate the ignorance of others. It’s in building a world where we teach acceptance of ourselves. We’re okay with who we are, because when we get honest we see that we all struggle, we all suffer…. We all know what it is to hurt…. And we all know how important it is to heal.”

Weaknesses, illnesses, and mistakes are “an issue, not an identity.”
