I used toos

I used to be jealous of others success. Now I can celebrate their accomplishments.

I used to mimic everyone else

Now I know who I am. 

I used to always be loud to avoid the quiet. Now I embrace solitude and reflection.  

I used to relish busyness and being the best. Now I make time for peace and rest. 

I used to have no respect for myself. Now I celebrate who I am. 

Like a river rushing by, so can the opinions of ourselves change constantly. We do not have to stay that same. We can all make a list of I used toos.
