Human beings are beyond complex. No matter how dull or boring one might seem to someone else, there is always someone begging to be who you're criticizing. Now look at it this way; think of your favorite person in the whole world. Now think of all the people who don't like them. You don't understand it, right? Exactly. That's how it is for everyone in the world, and while it's normal to be envious, the problem is that people are become so green with jealousy that they learn to hate themselves.
It's normal to find flaws in yourself; you are, after all, your worst critic. Don't always be so hard on yourself! Here are 10 reasons to love yourself.
1. You are a human being.
You were born into this universe for a reason, and it would be so much different, for the worst, if you weren't here anymore! You are a powerful being with earth in your hands!
2. You are beautiful!
You are made of the exact same things the stars in the sky are made of. You are a shining star on this earth — no matter what your physical appearance looks like, no matter how many bad things you've done in the past — you are beautiful inside and out.
3. You are so loved.
The universe crafted you with very careful hands and a specific idea of who you should be. No matter how alone you feel, there are so many people around you that love you- even if they don't know you yet.
4. You are completely unique.
There is absolutely no one in the world like you, and that's so incredible! You are full of your own ideas, thoughts, passions, and feelings. How cool is that?
5. You can do anything you set your mind to.
The world is your oyster, so they say! As long as you want to do it, you can! No matter how tough the challenge is.
6. You are smart and important.
You are a human being and have evolved so that you are incredibly smart and can solve anything if you think hard enough! Your place in this world is so important because if we didn't have you, then we would have one less brainiac to help us evolve.
7. You aren't perfect!
No one is perfect. Not your parents, your friends, your significant other, or even your favorite celebrities. Everyone is flawed in some way, and that's what makes you unique. There is no such thing as perfect. Everything about you is amazing.
8. You are strong.
You have lived through many years, no matter how old you are. You have endured physical and emotional challenges beyond comparison, and that's so brave and beautiful. You may even have scars to show your battles, and that's something to admire!
9. Your body is beautiful!
There is no such thing as a perfect body! Everyone has a different idea of beauty, but no matter what that idea is, you are just as beautiful as the people you envy. Your body is incredible and works so hard to keep you alive-it's entire purpose is to keep you alive- and that itself is beautiful.
and most importantly...
10. You are alive.
You are a human being with a conscience and soul different from anything else in any universe. You are made of stars and light, and you were born into this world because you have a purpose. Believe it or not, you've already changed the world. Whether you're five or 105, you mean everything to this universe. You are beautiful and deserve to love yourself. Never forget that!
