My Tips For Dealing With Shame

My tips for dealing with shame Set up a camera Get naked And stand in front of the lens Relax Walk in a circle And watch the tape back Regularly And begin to own This is your body This is how you really look And make acceptance with that “This how I really look” Recognize everyone has cried And peed themselves And pooped themselves And wants to be loved and fit in We are all really uncool And that’s okay Reckon with the fact that you’ll die And that you will stop crossing people’s mind after a while You’re not that serious in the grand scheme of things So don’t feel too much importance when you make a mistake It really is not the end of this world Listen to your body and make acceptance with your impulses Get in therapy Deal with your trauma Accept the truth of who you are And where your roots come from If you’re so privileged as to have access to that information Find something that matters to you And commit to it Live for it Die for it Because As mentioned before You’re dying either way Believe there is nothing relatable or helpful About pretending you’re perfect Be open Be humble Be vulnerable Help someone Accept The lack of control Accept your lack of control And live with the comfort of temporary Everything will pass And everything will end Except for those two things -To be continued as I grow up...
