I hate that I didn't always finish what I start.

But I will do from now on.

I hate that I'd always run away from my problems, especially when I don't know what to do.

But I now will stay and deal with them, open up and trust that those who truly care will help me.

I hate that I'd be scared and panic easily.

But I am willing to believe that nothing is the end of the world.

I hate that I'd wait until the stress is unbearable and the problem too big to do anything resolute and feel feable as a result, and then hope for a second chance ... just to repeat the pattern.

But I will tackle problems face on now to save myself from an overburden of stress, destructive self-image, and disappointment.

I hate that I'd believe bad experiences and family pulled me back, and I'd make them my excuse.

But I will own up to my life now.

I hate that I'd be discouraged and give up so easily.

But I will hold on now.

I hate that I'd believe I can't make mistakes and be ashamed of my mistakes because I'd think I failed.

But I will believe that it's ok to make mistakes now.

I hate that sometimes I'd think I need more help than I need, and sometimes, I'd think I need less help than I think, but one way or another, I wouldn't get what I need because I never open up.
But I will ask for help now, whether I need a lot or a just a little.
