You are you own worst enemy

You are the one who chooses the pain and how much of that pain you inflict on yourself.

Letting yourself be hurt by someone means you are agreeing with what they say.

Never admit yourself to another’s insecurities.

You are your own worst enemy,

Others around you may influence you,

In the end, it is you who inflicts the pain on yourself.

Imagine a stranger hurting you,

Imagine someone close hurting you in the same way,

The same pain, different sources,

The stranger will hurt you less than the one who is close.

In the end, you are the one who accepts that the stranger hurts you less,

In the end you are the one who accepts that the one who is close to you hurts you more.

There is no one closer to yourself than yourself.

Do not let yourself hurt yourself, under any circumstance,

The external world may try to hurt you,

But you are are the final decider of how much pain you inflict on yourself.

You are your own worst enemy,

Be friendly with yourself,

At some points in your life,

You may be the only person who can either lift yourself up,

Or tear yourself down.

Do not let yourself be an enemy.

Let yourself be a friend.

Let yourself be a lover.
