Know Thyself And Love Thyself, Or Nobody Else Can Either

If you don't know yourself how can you expect anyone to ever truly know you? If you don't love yourself how can anyone truly love you?

It is very difficult to answer the question, who am I. There are many facets of each person that when combined make them who they are. Every single event you have lived through shapes who you are. The importance of who you are is instrumental in creating your future.

Life is a challenge, and not knowing who you are makes it so much worse to handle then it needs to be. If you go through life not knowing and loving who you are then you will forever be miserable.

You are not able to love others if you don't love yourself. This is because you can't give love to others if you don't have it within yourself. I am not saying that you need to be like Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast", but I am saying that you need to learn to appreciate and love yourself. Self-image is something that is difficult to be proud of nowadays, what with society telling you what is or isn't beautiful. But I am here to tell you that what they say isn't true. You are perfect exactly the way that you are.

You can't go through life comparing yourself to other people. You are you, and you are beautiful. No matter what you look like or how you sound you are beautiful. There is only one you, there never has been and never will be another you.

It would be a crime not to love and know yourself because if anyone can it is you. If you don't know yourself how can you expect anyone to ever truly know you? If you don't love yourself how can anyone truly love you?

You are the only you, don't rob anyone else of the chance to know and love you. You are special. You are beautiful. You are unique. You are amazing. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Be proud and happy with who you are and those around you will love you for you.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
