Falling in Love with Myself
So in 2017 I met a guy. In 2018 that same guy dumped me two weeks before our one year anniversary and trashed me to his whole family. I learned the truth hard. All those red flags and the details that never seemed to add up. It was all apart of his elaborate facade that he puts on to make friends or wow girls. He was clever and precise with his lies until he wasn't. I started questioning the inconsistencies and why he seemed to invite me over and then run. I spent more time by myself on that god forsaken boat than I did with him. In the end his lies caught up to him. He knew he couldn't keep up the act. He knew I was clever and would eventually catch on. I wallowed in self pity for two months until that pity and pain turned to hatred and anger. It was that moment that I realized I thought I needed someone to love me but I just needed to see my own self worth and love myself. It was a hard journey and to be honest I'm still on it and yet I feel free. So let me explain how I started falling in love with myself.

"Ideal" Image
When it comes to the "perfect" body type we all have similar opinions on what we think society wants. Wether it be an hourglass figure, thigh gap, a small waist, etc... Most of the photos and images we see online highly influence us and not only change our perspective on weight, but how we see ourself. Nowadays I feel like body positivity is becoming such an important thing as people are still trying to fit in to these fake ideals on what is the perfect body. I feel it’s important for more people to truly understand how they don’t need to try out the new "one meal" diet or try the new "lose 5 pounds in a day" workout as a way for them to loose the fat they so highly despise. So many people are caught up in their appearance and it’s not only holding them back from great opportunities but it’s effecting their mental health in the long run. It’s going to be difficult at first to accept that you don’t need to force yourself into becoming what you see as perfect to fit in because you are already and always will be the ideal body type. And finding the confidence to accept that won’t come easily but having skinny legs, cellulite, curves, or a flat chest just makes you perfect as an individual and just doing you confidently makes you one of the most beautiful people around. Don’t feel pressured into becoming something you're not because you're already amazing.

You and Your Living Butterfly Effect
Most of us can acknowledge the incredible beauty of the Butterfly; it fascinates us, and we marvel at its delicately strong presence. The Butterfly can represent many things to us in unique ways that touch our personal journey throughout our lives. Butterflies are known to represent powerfully deep symbolism about life. Some cultures claim the Butterfly is associated with the soul and the Christian religion claims they are a symbol of resurrection. Also, many people from all walks of life see the Butterfly as a representation of endurance, change, hope and ultimately life.

Finding the Root:
My wall is high—real high. It's steep elevation is built brick by brick of let down and pain. I cried every time I had to build it taller and taller. It takes a resilient genuine soul to finally over come it. But sadly, so many people wouldn't stay around long enough to make it that high. However, now, it's getting too high, too hard to climb, too dangerous to reach the top. And it's time to let it fall.

The Setback
This Past Summer If you asked me right now what I did this past summer, I would tell you I did nothing. I just worked and help out with family. If you could read my mind, you will get a completely different answer. You would get many depressing answers, with the side of screaming and crying.

We Teach People How to Treat Us
Do you commonly feel like you’re mistreated, used, abused, or abandoned? Do you frequently ask yourself the question: “Am I really that bad?” If so, YOU NEED TO READ THIS!!!!! The bad news is that you tell everyone in your life exactly how to treat you, you choose situations repeatedly that reinforce these concepts, and then when it doesn’t work out you ask yourself why? Why wasn’t I good enough? Why couldn’t they love me? Why did they have to do that? What makes me so bad? Why do I deserve this? The answer is because that is exactly what you feel you deserve, but the GOOD news is that you can change it and I am going to attempt to show you how right now!!!

Why External Validation Always Fails
Fulfillment outside of oneself is only temporary. You can be complimented everyday by members of the opposite sex, you can be told constantly how awesome or amazing you are, but if you don’t believe it for yourself, you never truly buy into it.

This Is When You'll Know
“Don’t be so hard on yourself when you find yourself dwelling on your past and overthinking about all the misfortune you’ve had. Because sometimes people forget that the past is a pathway. And a pathway is a journey. and a journey takes time. and time is all you have when you feel lost. So please be patient, be kind because something better is on the way.” -r.m. Drake
