no love is ever lost. i used to feel like I wasted my love on the wrong people but in the course of my healing, not only have i felt the love I've poured out come back to me in different ways, but i have been reminded that love is not expendable at all. love cannot be measured nor contained. discarded nor wasted. it has no form or shape. it surrounds us. love is essential. it's abundant. it's powerful. its potency makes it capable of finding its way back to you. again and again and again. love is a whole phenomenon. don't ever regret the love you give to anyone. it's theirs. it's yours. it's everywhere. the cycle is infinite

Please pray for me, my mind is playing tricks on me and making me feel less than

Of course, may God bless you and comfort you!

There is a prayer that I just stumbled across online that you may find helpful:

From the pain of self-hatred, Deliver me, Jesus. From a negative view of my body and self, Deliver me, Jesus. From disbelief in Your love for me, Deliver me, Jesus. From doubting that I was created good, Deliver me, Jesus. From believing I am a burden, Deliver me, Jesus. From the desire to be completely self-reliant, Deliver me, Jesus. From negative self-talk and internal dialogue, Deliver me, Jesus. From the demands of perfectionism, Deliver me, Jesus. From my own unattainable expectations, Deliver me, Jesus. From the pull to neglect my bodily needs, Deliver me, Jesus. From excessive ascetic practices that You are not asking of me, Deliver me, Jesus. From the denial of comforts that would draw me closer to You, Deliver me, Jesus. From the temptation to harm my self: bodily, emotionally, or spiritually, Deliver me, Jesus. From the temptation to work without rest, Deliver me, Jesus. When I doubt Your love for me, Be with me, Jesus. When I want to hide from Your love, Be with me, Jesus. When I doubt that You want my good, Be with me, Jesus. When I despise myself, Be with me, Jesus. When I engage in intentional self-harm, Be with me, Jesus. When I cannot escape my own self-criticism, Be with me, Jesus. When I get disconnected from my own self and lost in dissociation, Be with me, Jesus. When I numb my pain in unhealthy ways, Be with me, Jesus. When I avoid healthy self-care, Be with me, Jesus. When I neglect my own needs, Be with me, Jesus. That I am your beloved child, Jesus, I trust in You. That I was created in Your image and likeness, Jesus, I trust in You. That You are wildly in love with me, Jesus, I trust in You. That You desire my good, Jesus, I trust in You. That You will fulfill my good desires, Jesus, I trust in You. That I am worthy of care and attention, Jesus, I trust in You. That I am worthy of rest, Jesus, I trust in You. That I am worthy of food and nourishment, Jesus, I trust in You. That I am worthy of the care & love I extend to others, Jesus, I trust in You. That You want me to will my own good, Jesus, I trust in You.

The good life to me is sitting amongst nature and enjoying little treats

Me, still insane: I used to be sooo crazy
