Birth
I came into the world.
And cried with joy from the first moment.
I was perfect.
A pristine crystal.
Laughed all the time.
My universe was joyous.
Anything and everything was possible.
Toddler
Life was fun.
But people started telling me what to do.
And making up things about me.
Things seemed more complicated.
Began to wonder what I was doing wrong.
Was I not good enough?
Childhood
Life was more complicated.
I had to conform.
Life was still a joy.
But I was not laughing so much.
I had self doubts.
What was I doing here?
What was I to do with my life?
Adulthood
Life was hard.
Nothing seemed to work.
Stopped loving myself.
Stopped others loving me.
What happened to the joy of living?
Today
Had a wake up call.
Fell in love once again with life and myself.
I approve of myself.
I love myself just the way I am.
Life is joyous.
I am like a new born baby.
I have always been a pristine crystal.
I just didn’t know it till now.
