to lie

by anna

I lie to myself.

I say that I don't care what people think about me, that I'm fine with the way I look, that everything is okay.

But that's okay.

Because if I tell myself these things long enough, I start to believe them.

It helps me stay a little more positive.

If I tell myself these things whenever I have a hard time believing them, it makes it easier for me to accept that I can't change certain things about myself, and that's perfectly fine.

I lie to myself.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
