The Three "U's" I Gave Up

My greatest progress in 2011,
the most freedom
I have found in years:

I gradually began to give up
worrying that other people
thought of me as

ugly,
untalented,
unwanted.

I began believing that
negative opinions of me
don't equal absolute truth.

I started realizing that I can choose to reject how others say I should look, act, or live.

I eventually understood that the One who loves me most would never describe me using those three "u" words.

I decided whose opinion I should strive to listen to.
