I've finally realised this - the Universe wants me here! Otherwise, I wouldn't be. I've had a shame-based personality because my dad abandoned me. Shame carries the message that 'I'm bad' and I've actually believed this, that I'm not worthy, that I'm unlovable, that I shouldn't be here. But now I realise I am supposed to be here! Even with all my imperfections and even if no one else wants me, the Universe does. Just writing this actually makes me feel loved in every cell of my being. Where there used to be shame, there is now Love.
