Self acceptance and unconditional love (or lack thereof)
~melyanna
------------------------------------------------------------------
Why does my brain resist it so much?

"Love the process. Accept who you are and love yourself no matter
the imperfections, mistakes, and where you are in life".

That's something I understand in theory, and I love my family,
partner and friends just like that: unconditionally.

When it comes to myself though... my brain actively *resists* the
thought.
Anything like the sentence above would trigger the immediate
response of "Yes, but..." and then a long list of things I don't
like about myself, that I could do better, that I am not satisfied
with.

Some stuff I don't even know why it would matter so much to me at
all, it's like my brain has just put it there to make sure I remind
myself to hate myself.

Sorry, bit bleak for a Wednesday afternoon.
