Making changes

love taking photos of dragonflies...

I've become aware of how often I can lie to myself-
 
lying about my feelings by minimizing them.
 
I will hear myself saying things like...
 
"it doesn't matter" or "I don't really care",

when it really does. 

By doing that, I ignore my rights, my desires, my needs...

It's a pattern I've had all my life,

making myself less important than others.

Time for change!!!

I need to get more honest and treat myself kinder.
