This weekend was different
I caught myself smiling in the mirror not because anything extraordinary happened, but simply because I liked what I saw. No filters, no trying to fix anything just me, as I am. And honestly, that felt really good.
There’s something about catching your own reflection and not immediately trying to change something that hits different. For once, I wasn’t looking for flaws. I wasn’t nitpicking or overanalyzing. I just stood there for a second, looked at myself, and thought, “You’re doing okay.” And that “okay” carried more weight than any compliment I’ve received lately.
I think sometimes we forget how important it is to feel good in our own skin. We spend so much time chasing things—success, perfection, approval that we forget to check in with ourselves. But this weekend, I did. I slowed down, stayed present, and for the first time in a long time, I appreciated me—inside and out.
It wasn’t about looks alone. It was about energy. Peace. The kind of quiet confidence that doesn’t need to be loud or proven. Just knowing I’ve grown, healed in places I never thought I would, and come a long way from where I used to be.
Today, that energy is still with me. I woke up feeling good, not for any specific reason, but because I chose to. I chose to hold onto that moment from the weekend and carry it into my day.
I don’t need every day to be perfect. I just need to remember this feeling. That I’m enough. That I’m allowed to feel proud of myself. That it’s okay to pause and simply say, “I like who I am today.”
And right now, I really do.

STOPI love that picture of you in front of the mirror. I think it's good to recognize, accept and value ourselves as we are.
And what you say that it is not only about appearance but also about energy, I totally agree, many say, in fact, that we are pure energy.
Sure , you are right
It's interesting your drawing uses the same paper and your image has the same colour tones as @lectureme so I checked your wallet and you send Hive and HBD funds to lectureme almost daily.
So, based on this information I conclude that you are possibly the same person and have posted two different responses to the topic for additional votes. For this reason I'll be removing my votes.
If you can prove to me you are not operating both accounts yourself then let me know.
Definitely not the same person, @lectureme is my cousin and we post almost the same time, because i am a very busy person and I told him to always alert me anytime he wants to write his post, he definitely made the two drawings base on what i wanted to post, and he was not afraid to use the same paper because we have nothing to hide, he could have used a different paper to avoid being noticed. I could give you my Facebook page to confirm that we are related and two different people. And he even told me that as far as you are being sincere with it having two accounts is not a barrier.
So someone else drew the picture you used on your post? As per the rules of this concept and the rules of the community, all images need to be your own.
So, please accept my downvote as an indication that I'm not well pleased with you not following the rules.
Ok, thanks for the heads up, will do better next time
