DailyThought #21 - Remodel

Sometimes I think and talk so much that my thoughts and words lose meaning. I feel stuck. So, I have to stop and reset. I have to take the things that are important to myself and strip them down to their foundation, then, reassemble and recalculate. Often, during this reconstruction, I isolate myself; mentally, at least. And I have had a realization: if what I want to do in life is make positive change, then that positivity has to have a reserve. I need to find energy through inspiration. And most importantly, it has to come from myself… meaning I have to have a positive relationship with myself.

This is the essence of mental health. An attempt to be better to and for yourself. If I don’t like my life or myself, then I won’t like anything else. If I like myself, then the world can crumble around me, and I’ll still have something. If I don’t, then I will crumble before the world does. Loving yourself is easier said than done, like anything. And I’m not sure if there has ever been, or will be, a person that has wholeheartedly loved themselves. Yet, we should try. Perfection will out run every one of us, but we should chase it. Right? Cause then what? We should always try. Try for ourselves, then others, then the world. The right idea will be found in time. It will be found behind wrong ideas, and will be built off right ideas. Then, harmony.
