That I Would Be Good Even When I'm Overwhelmed

About two years ago, I lost the closest friend I ever had, and went through one of the hardest losses I've had to suffer.
A year ago I was freezing cold in Ireland, with no place to stay, protecting random people I barely knew from being date raped.
And even though I'm going through a difficult patch right now, I know that if I got through those things, I can get through all this too.
I will not let stupid criticisms and lectures get me down.
I will not let the past hold me back.
I will not fall down and refuse to get back up.
I'm tougher then I look.

Just because I have faults doesn't mean I'm a bad or unloveable person.
I'm only human, after all.

And maybe if I repeat all of this to myself enough, I'll believe it.
