Sometimes we’re our own worst enemies.  In my case, the things others had said to me became so ingrained that I said them to myself reflexively.  The bastards got into my head, like a little devil sitting on my shoulder always whispering evil nothings in my ear.

“Ugly, unlovable, freak, disgusting, geek, nerd, unworthy…”

I now know those things were said to me to bolster the other’s self image and compensate for the confidence they lacked.  So, I’m kicking out that evil inner friend/demon and taking back my own sense of worth.  I’ve acted as my own jailer for too long.

Time to whisper my own voice in my ear instead of that of the others.
