My most recent bout with dealing with negative thoughts is what is prompting me to write a short piece about why I need to celebrate myself, especially on my birthday.
It is important that I celebrate my accomplishments and myself as a person. I feel worthless because I push away the need to celebrate accomplishments. The frustrations that I am having are because by my incessant drive of growth, but also because of my lack of celebrating myself. My parents always told me that I could do better, even when I achieve something, and because I have never received much positive encouragement from them, it becomes a main source of why I do not celebrate myself. My frustrations can also relate to not staying for informal department meetings, as it is as a way of saying that I do not care about these people. I need to re-wire myself to appreciate myself more, and catch myself whenever I think negative thoughts. Some people have tried to reach out to me at my time of need, and I should repay them back in some way. Let them celebrate me. I need to enjoy my birthday, and I need to change the negative connotations that I have with it.
Happy birthday to me.
