Self Love
The first thing you need to do is to start loving the person you see in the mirror. You are perfect as you are, and any stretch marks you have represent how resilient you are. Start seeing your body as a beautiful creation of nature. These are the words you need to repeat daily to yourself - that you are amazing, beautiful, and powerful.
You need to love yourself first and you need to start thinking that all of your imperfections make you the person you are today. Your imperfections make you the best version of yourself. Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone is unique. Just love yourself first and let all your imperfections make you the person you are today.
When you look in the mirror, tell yourself I love you. I love this amazing person that I am seeing right now. Before loving anyone else, you need to love yourself. And if the person you love doesn't love who you are, this person isn't worth your love.
Remember, you are stronger than you think and you can make a difference in the world. You just need to believe in yourself and your achievements in life. Smile often, live like no other and enjoy all the moments in life.
My Story
When I look in the mirror, I tell myself that I'm going to achieve all my dreams. The bruises and loneliness in my life started to fade away. I was bullied as a child, and people didn't like me for who I was. It seemed as if something was wrong with me; I believed I was the problem. I suffered so much during the time that I considered doing things that weren't okay. I closed myself off to everyone, believing that I was the problem. The loneliness in my life caused me to hate myself. I opened my eyes when I grew up and saw that I wasn't the problem. The problem was the people who hated me for no reason. They chose to hurt me even though I didn't do anything to them. I love myself more than anyone else, I have friends who love me for who I am, I open up a little bit. Instead of hating myself, I love myself now. I love to be weird and I love all the little imperfections I have.
Growing
As we live and grow, we learn that all bad things that happen in our life are lessons that we can learn from. Don't let your past keep you from moving forward. Live in the present and love yourself more than anything else. Focus on yourself first because you need to be happy with how you are. Smile often and do the things you love the most.
When you fall, cheer yourself on. When you succeed, cheer yourself on. Celebrate all the things that you do in your life because you are the only one that needs to love every part of you. Nobody is going to love you more than you, appreciate even the small things that you do. Grow and continue growing because growth is part of the process.
Remember, nobody is perfect in life. We just are unique in our own ways. Just be yourself and never change how you are to make someone happy. The only one that deserves to be happy is you. Continue growing and always smile at your reflection in the mirror. You are so much more valuable and fearless than you think. And don’t let anybody change your beautiful smile. Also, being weird is cool, and that makes you so unique.
