Broken People

I am a firm believer in the fact that nobody else can give you your self worth. They may be able to make you believe that your worthless if you give into them and their negativity but you alone are responsible for your happiness and wholeness. I have seen others as well as myself fall into the fallacy that another person can make you whole, give you worth, make you happy, make you complete, or help you feel better about yourself. Most people walk around with missing pieces but the problem is that they are always expecting someone else to put the pieces back together for them, to make sense of their puzzle. No one else can do that for you. No one else can give you your self worth, no one else can be everything that you need, want, or are missing in your life or your center. Only you can do that for yourself. Only you can find and fix the broken missing pieces that make you feel incomplete. Only you can give yourself worth and meaning. Asking anyone else or expecting anyone else to do this for you is only setting yourself and them up for failure. Nobody can fulfill the needs that you can't fill yourself. Nobody else can heal the wounds you know you have or the ones you haven't yet discovered. Sometimes faith and finding meaning in life can help you fill the gaps but sometimes it can't do it all and sometimes the gaps, the pain, are necessary. Pain makes you wiser, stronger, and feel happiness so much more. Pain and missing pieces give you depth. In order to be happy in any of your relationships you first must come to terms with the relationship with yourself. Take some time get to know your strength, weaknesses, and holes. Love yourself in all your flaws. Look for people that you enjoy, flaws and all and don't rely on relationships to fix you. Somethings can't be fixed, and that is okay. And being able to say that your broken and some parts are irreparable but your okay and you love yourself flaws and all is the first step to happiness.
