For a long time, I was my own worst enemy, constantly telling myself I was a burden and feeling utterly worthless. Losing a good friend to their demons a few years ago was a wake-up call for me. Now, whenever my thoughts take a negative turn, I challenge them and remind myself that I'm simply being unkind to myself. It's important to remember that these demons are a part of what makes us human, but we need to occasionally check in with them and question their intentions, as they may not always be serving our best interests.
