Embrace Yourself

The majority of my life I have done nothing but waste my precious time trying to be everything that I was never meant to be. I spent countless nights trying to look like all of the other girls and crying because I didn't. I hated everything about myself. I hated my height, body size, face just everything. Looking back I now realize that I was completely insane to want to change what God already put his paintbrush on.
Why do we always want to fit in when we were born to stand out. Its amazing how great life can be when you stop caring about what everyone else thinks and just start doing what makes you happiest. You were born that way for a reason it's up to you to carry out your life's plan. No one else can get you to where you should be in life. No one can make you into the person you were born to be but you. But how can you get there if you're following someone else's journey into becoming who THEY are supposed to be? You have to just understand that everything is a certain way for a reason. You will grow to love everything about yourself. If you don't love yourself then who will?

...and if the cliché "love yourself" inspiration above does not make you feel even the slightest bit better then try this:

1. Take care of yourself: If you are not happy with something then most of the time you can change it. Not happy with your hair get a new style. Not happy with your size make healthier choices or just make the best you out of what you already have.


2. Think Positive: Most of the time it is only in your head that you are not beautiful. There is no such thing as ugly. Tell yourself every day that you are beautiful, kind, and important. Continue on feeding yourself with positivity until you can't even stomach the negative thoughts any longer.

3. Smile: Even if you feel as if you have nothing in the world to smile about just do it. There are so many worse problems that people deal with every single day, maybe even much worse than yours. Be grateful for what you do have and smile. It will
not only will make you feel better, but it will make those around you better. Smiling is contagious and very therapeutic.

4. Most importantly do what makes YOU happy. You can't live your life for anyone else but yourself. So do the things that you want to do. Dress how you want to dress and eat how you want to eat. You only have this one life to live why waste it trying to get the approval of others. You were born free you don't need the approval of anyone else in this world to be happy!!

... also remember that there are billions of other people out there that feel exactly how you do. We are the ones who are lucky enough to understand the true meaning and value of life. We know how to make our own happiness and live our own lives the way we want so here's to us!!.....
