When I was younger I was always super self-concious. My hair drove me crazy, I was super thin with my big old head and my braces didn't help. And not only was I physically self-concious, I also felt it mentally. I didn't feel "mature" enough or "smart" enough. Well all that is basically in the past because now I can't help but love myself to the point where I'm even a bit obsessed. Yeah, I know, I sound so cocky and conceited but I basically need to make up for all the time in the past where I didn't give myself the love I deserved.
You see, sometimes I think we get so caught up in the "not so fabulous" things about ourselves that we neglect all the FABULOUS things about ourselves. Like me for example, my stretch marks on my body drive me crazy, but they're what make me, me. (I actually had a guy ask me if I was fat before cause of them...ASSHOLE) I just think that if we dwell on our "flaws" forever , we'll just never be happy with ourselves. We're all beautiful people, not just physically but also mentally. We all need to trust ourselves and be confident in our work and skills. If I'm trying to do something like get an A on a test but end up getting a B, I should at least be happy with myself and think "You know what, I tried my best " and not think that I'm a failure and beat myself up cause I didn't fully accomplish what I wanted. Remember you are the only you out there, even if you have a twin, your twin is never going to be you. We are all unique, we are all special, embrace yourself, don't try to be or act like anyone else, be you. The more you focus on loving yourself and being you, the more you will learn about yourself and discover new talents you never knew you had.
What i'm basically trying to get at is. I LOVE MYSELF :) Why? Because if I don't love myself, who will.
xo besos
