“Many men remain spoiled boys that have never grown up. Women are prepared to raise them and take pain with patience, both as a condescendant contribution to supercilious compassion and as a proof of the eminence of their sense of worth.

“I write because I have to write, like a singer who has to sing or a musician who has to make music. I write not so much as to have people read my writing, I write to connect, to engage, to feel less alone. I also write to allow others to feel related to what I’m writing about, to laugh, to cry, to identify within themselves similar feelings and to evoke a memory. I used to think my journey was so unique yet it’s not, and for that I am grateful. If I can’t be a rock star, then I will be a write star even if in my own eyes.” HeartAwarenessWittySelf WorthAuthenticityInner SelfSelf PerceptionInner ThoughtsSense Of WorthSelf Reward Author:Shelley Brown-Weird Girl Adventures from A to Z

“Living inside this head was a torture of endless looping thoughts and self-hatred.

What I do want to offer is that there is hope.” HeartAwarenessWittySelf WorthAuthenticityInner SelfSelf PerceptionInner ThoughtsSense Of WorthSelf Reward Author:Shelley Brown-Weird Girl Adventures from A to Z
“I have decided to use my voice to tell you stuff that you may not otherwise know. Not to scare you or make you feel bad, but to inform you so you’re not totally taken by surprise as I have been. Maybe it’s my own ignorance. Maybe it’s lack of cable. After all, don’t they talk about this shit on Dr. Oz?

“In a world increasingly dominated by external validation such as fame, social media, or public recognition, we may acknowledge having misplaced our sense of worth in the eyes of others. Only by cultivating our own sense of intrinsic meaning and self-worth can we rediscover our real selves.
