Finding Myself

Sitting here thinking introspectively i see myself through the lens that others have given me. However I question is that the only way i should be looking at myself through ? I don't think it is the only way, the more i dwell the more i can see that this the easiest way to see yourself, due to the noise of the world however that shouldn't be how it is. We should be looking at ourselves through the eyes of our creator by what he reveals to us of ourselves. I don't think i've ever consistently done that. As someone who is a people pleaser i thrive of the validation from other people and that is very deadly as i have this constant void that i crave to be refilled
