I wish I could Believe
I wish I could believe in something more profound. I wish I could have the faith you do. I wish I could believe in the future. I wish I could believe in life. I wish I could believe in you. I wish I could believe in you and me.
I wish I could believe in myself.

That is so sad!
………………….Seek it.
It all starts with the last part. You have to have faith in yourself before you can believe in anything else. Finding the courage to search for faith in yourself is the hardest part, but you can do it. I believe in you.
I so relate to this. It’s hard to believe in yourself or even in the present when past experience has shown you not to have any expectations. Feeling you….
Keep the Faith
Faith is the key
Believing in yourself is hard, it’s something I started to do about two years ago. Start doing things that bring the real you out. What’s your talent, the thing that makes you, you? Start using it. It won’t happen overnight, but every day you have to look at the girl in the mirror and tell her the truth, that she’s beautiful and competent and what happened to her wasn’t her fault, that she can pick up and try again tomorrow, and she can keep trying. There is no future, no future that you don’t create with your actions now. Focus on today. Today is the day.
If you need to talk, you can talk to me. (:
I feel the same way. You put it into words wonderfully.
sometimes in order to start building faith, you have to tell yourself that you have it and acting like you have it. if you want to believe in yourself, sometimes you have to pretend like you believe in yourself before you really do believe in yourself. if it is the past that is stopping you from believing in yourself, you need to forgive yourself. if it is others, then you can’t let others define you.
razzle’s comment is dead on. i assume (bad me) that something terrible is in your past. it stole faith and confidence from you. me too. and i still try to pick up the pieces. the answer for me that helped so much was when i revisited the actual places where abuse happened and i had a funeral and released those years. parked in front of the house i grew up in, i sat there in the rental car and cried for the little girl who was not allowed to be a girl. i cried for the little boy too and i released them. i drove away from there as if i was leaving a grave site. closure is necessary. hugs for you because you really are precious. if you ever look at your past and feel nothing, then that is when you can worry.
Faith is not always certain but knowledge is.
sending love your way. Razzle said a lot of what I was thinking…
it’s so hard. I know, it’s so so so hard. but babygirl, it’ll be okay, I promise, things almost always get better, especially if you want it to.
i know that feeling too, its a struggle hugs
I wish no one else believed.
Me too…but if it makes you feel any better – I believe in you.
I believe in you.
Short and exquisite
You can believe in yourself, it is the first step in all of it. Just keep going at it. We are–I am–behind you. *hugs*
it all starts with believing in yourself.. that’s the hardest part but I know you can do it <3
I don’t get it.
@ltk19862000 - Thank you. It’s something I’ve been trying to work on, but it’s really hard to change your mentality.
@razzle_dazzle_lip_gloss - I think that I’ve just stumbled through the things I’ve been through, without really dealing with any of it. I just put it somewhere in the back of my mind. It’s hard thinking about these things, but it’s probably something I have to do if I want to better myself.
@christinajeanne - Thank you.
@Erika_Steele - I try not to let others define me, but it can be hard for me to do this. I know I’m in control of the things I think and feel, but sometimes that doesn’t make it any easier.
@SilverBird_Loves - I’m happy that you could do that, but it’s not possible for me. I don’t remember all the places I’ve been in my life.
@greenbird321 - Thank you
@ohletitbe - Aw thanks. Maybe I’m just in a funk lately. I don’t know =[
@ourblasphemousrumors - Thanks
@jasonwl - Thank you for that.
@imasilentheart - Aww thanks Amber. You are so sweet and awesome =]
@crazy2love - You are welcome.
Wonderful wishes!
Your transparency is so powerful~
@Chemalexandru - Aw thanks =]
@WildWomanOfTheWest - I try and be as true to myself as possible, as well as others. Thank you.
