If I were to Listen to My Heart

If I were to listen to my heart...  It's likely it would tell me to love myself no matter what...

But of course my brain gets in the way and gives me the idea that I have to be certain things in order to be worthy of love.  But the thing is love is beyond worth... It just is...

So WTF! haha.  How come I can't just listen to my heart and just love?  It's so easy for me to give into self-hate, and tell myself I'm supposed to be this or that... Rather than loving the being that I am in each and every moment...

I'm not what I want to be... I'm not what others probably want me to be...  And yet there is something more that exists in the imperfection of it all... The "is-ness" of it all...
