Let me know if I’m getting too deep for this (brand new) comm, but I’ve noticed lately that all of my sense of validation at this point in my life comes from other people. Is it possible to gain this feeling from my self or is that unrealistic?

    I think good parenting is what gives people a good sense of self-esteem, if they didn't do that getting it later is hard.

    I feel like by accepting that there are good and bad things about me I was able to foster an environment where I can focus on the good things. If theres nothing I can do about the bad things or it's not worth the effort, why focus on them?

    I'm also my biggest advocate, I have my off days but I try to remind myself that I can do anything I want to and I can and have grown.
