Sometimes the positive affirmations and self-love practices feel fake.

They say when you wake up, 

the first thing you should do is

go to the bathroom, pee

look in the mirror, count to three

tell yourself "i love you" until it doesn't feel fake

until you don't remember all your mistakes

then sit down in a comfortable place

 deep breathe all the anxiety away

until your heart doesn't feel like it's trying to escape

trying to claw through your chest

practice these things in the morning

it'll make you feel complete

Then why do I stil feel so empty?

See these affirmation's of positivity, 

they really don't seem to be doing anything for me

it's as if they push don't what i'm really feeling

invalidating my experiences

what gives this life meaning

If I could look in myself

say i love you and really mean it

how would that change me, 

Would I finally be free?

yes, i really do. Constantly told to stop telling myself negative affirmations, but even doing so, the negative thoughts are still in my head
