Loving myself!

Love

Love Me For Me!

As a young woman, I had too learn how too love myself. I am 27 years old, at a young age I was LOST and didn’t know exactly where I was going in life. After going through so much, I ended up having my first child at the age of 26. I am a single mother, and my child is the love the of my life. Having him taught me so much, it taught me that I couldn’t keep giving up in life, he taught me that I have too strive for GREATNESS in life. Even when things in my life are falling apart, I have too keep going for him. There are times where I look back on my life and tears begin to fall because I never thought in my life that I would be where I am today. As young a woman, we have too learn to put ourself first and actually love us for who we are, because, if we don’t love ourself how can we allow someone else too love us. Actually they can’t, because we don’t know how too love. From my experiences in life, it taught me too value the small things in life and believe in myself and the unpredictable things in life! I use to wonder will I ever learn how too love? Will I ever find myself ?? All the answers I never got. I had too step out my comfort zone and actually do some soul searching.

While I was Soul searching, I found out happiness come from within, we hope that someone else will give us happiness and we can’t hope for someone too give us that or loves us, because that would be false hope. As I am continuing to grow in my life, I had too put me first and accept the things that I can’t change and change the things that I can. Sometimes, you just have too go stand in the mirror and just look at yourself, even if that means crying your eyes out, just stand there and tell yourself that your beautiful and that you deserve the WORLD. Never let anyone tell you that your not worth it because you are worth it I promise you that. If we think little of ourselves everyone else will think the same. So, think BIG and smile like you never smiled before. It’s easier said than done. I use too wonder why I wasn’t beautiful and why no one would ever stay with me, they didn’t stay Bc I belittles myself, they didn’t stay because I didn’t love me, they didn’t stay because I had a past that I was holding onto. Someone, once told me “ when you finally accept your past, and finally be okay with yourself things will happen for the better for you”. I didn’t believe it and sometimes I still don’t believe it.

I do know that I have a lot of healing too do and I am still learning too love me. It’s a lot of things in life that will get discourage and make you not love yourself, but you have too overcome that hardship and actually love yourself. So, what if someone calls you ugly, or tell you that your too fat or too skinny, even if it breaks your heart are make you cry, laugh it off and cry in silence don’t let them see they got the best of you. Just because they feel that way about you someone else may feel like your the most beautiful person in the world, your never too small or to fat for someone, love yourself they way you are!

It’s a process but I promise you will get there and I will also get there. Take it day by day and one day at a time. Always remember trouble don’t last always! After the storm will always be Sunshine at the END of the day
