Systems of energy contain no garbage, 'Artist. And the uni-verse is an energy system, no doubt about it. So it must have had a good reason for creating you, exactly as you are.
Even though you may not feel it at the present moment, you are beautiful inside and out, absolutely unique among all things.
Love needs no reason. It simply is. So love yourself! (No excuses!)
