*exhales as I type this*

why is this word such a heavy one?

what if I can't accept myself? what if all I want to do is to get a quick fix on all my problems and maybe then, I will finally be able to accept myself?

or maybe, I don't have to find a quick fix.

Maybe I can deconstruct all the reasons why I can't accept myself for the way I am

and slowly work on them,

one step at a time.

1% small increments, they said.
