You are beautiful
You are not worthless
You are not a burden
You are always wanted
Your body is a temple
You bring people happiness
You are always loved
Unfortunately, we all tend to bash on ourselves because we only notice our own flaws and insecurities, especially when people carelessly point them out. As cheesy as this may sound, our flaws are what makes us who we are. We are not supposed to be perfect. Perfection isn’t a quality we should all be focused on achieving when in reality, we are already beautiful as is. We are always looking in the mirror, judging ourselves so harshly either because we wish we looked a certain way or we have gone through life being criticized for the way we would dress, the way we would do our own makeup, the way we would act, the people we would prefer to date, our music tastes, or simply just because how we look in comparison to other people that they deem as flawless and what not.I have had my fair share of people telling me that I could never do anything right, or they would just make cruel assumptions about me without really getting to know me and give me a chance to prove them wrong. People have told me that all I do is mess things up for myself as well as other people, and they have made me feel entirely useless from how they would joke about certain things I can and cannot do. It hurts to be reminded of how worthless and incapable you already feel, especially by your own close friends or just random people that enjoy destroying one’s self-confidence for their own entertainment and satisfaction. Those kinds of people do not care for other people’s well-being, but their own, because they believe they have the power to stomp all over people’s feelings. They feel this way either because they want to feel dominant or they are actually jealous of the person they are constantly teasing, therefore making that person question their own self-worth.Nothing these people say is and should ever be significant enough for you to constantly think about and dwell on. Their opinions are just opinions that should not matter when there are a number of people that think you are spectacular. The “friends” and people who constantly pick out your flaws and make you feel insecure are not going to matter in the future. They will become small little specks of dust in your life -- specks of dust that you will not care about because of all of the bright diamonds you will meet along the way. You will realize that you yourself are also a diamond that will never lose your sparkle, and that you deserve more than just dust particles that will simply get in the way and dull out your shine. You shine brighter than any diamond in the sky, and you will find people that will appreciate that and realize your true potential. If I could realize this, you could too. You are beautiful, despite what other people may think. You are worth so much more than you think, and you should have the confidence to repeat and believe in that. You will come across people that will tear down your walls only to continuously break you and make them feel important. You will not always be surrounded by those that make you feel comfortable in your own skin. That is something we should all take into consideration before critiquing ourselves so negatively; doing so only lets those people win. You are just fueling the fire and making things worse for yourself and better for those that feed off of one’s imperfections and insecurities. We should not focus on those that want to shred any ounce of confidence we have left, but on those that make us feel happy and worth so much more than our own eyes can see. So no, you are not worthless, you are not a burden, you are most definitely always wanted by somebody, you make people happy even if you don’t believe it. You are loved, and you are one stunning work of art that deserves to be admired and appreciated for all that you are. Push away the haters. Do not let them win the battle. Love yourself for who you have become and finally have the confidence to say, “Wow I am beautiful.” Just take a look and see for yourself.
