Acceptance.
Sadly we all want acceptance and we'll go to the darkest of places just to find it, hoping it will somehow make us whole, somehow fill us up. With what I don't know. We all can't stand being alone and that's the truth if it hurts you I suppose you too know from experience.
I'm not here to lay your insecurities out on the table, I'm just speaking facts. Things that you already know but refuse to listen to. You want love so you go out and search for it or worse you wait hoping it magically falls on your doorstep. Jealous of relationships that you don't have, relationships you sit and dwell on. Searching for acceptance in all the wrong places.
Why do you want to be accepted? The true answer is because we aren't accepting of ourselves so we want someone else to show us we're enough. Validation. Keep seeking and you shall not find it. Maybe you will gain recognition but that's truly not worth anything if you don't appreciate yourself.
Look in the mirror, tell us what you see better yet, who do you see? Chances are you focus on the physical aspects first and not the person within. Then what you do next isn't surprising. You find your faults, focus on what you deem negative, and bring yourself down. A mirror is a powerful tool that reflects everything we put before. It doesn't photoshop or auto fix, it shows us the real. Things we are scared to confront.
If you don't choose yourself you never will. You'll keep searching for someone else to find you. Being alone gives you time to reflect. I think we need to give ourselves that time of silence where we drown out the noise and focus on our heartbeats. When you allow others to control, change and determine who you are, that's when you've truly given up on yourself and allow people to take advantage.
The only acceptance you need is from yourself.
