"Love yourself"-- it's something that we hear all the time. "Love your flaws," "love your curves," "love your imperfections": all things every girl has heard in her life. But actually how easy is that? We live in a world that focuses on perfection-- perfect skin, a perfect body, and a perfect life. Just look at the people we look up to. Yes, I am even guilty of this. I catch myself way too many times wishing I looked more like a Kardashian/Jenner than a regular person. We spend more time taking and editing Instagram pictures than we do looking up from our phones and enjoying what is right in front of us. Let's start living life in love, you guys.

So how can we make this "self-love" idea easier? How can we stop self-hate? Supporting and respecting each other. And I don't mean liking each other's pictures on social media, but really giving each other some love. Us girls have to stick together. We can't look at another girl and wish we had something that the other does. We can't wish we were skinnier or taller or shorter or prettier. We also can't look at each other and think/say rude things. Instead of putting each other down, lift each other up. If you like her shoes, say it, and don't just think it. If she has a pretty smile, let that girl know. She spent too much money on those teeth. We already live in a brutal world. Women are looked at more for their appearance than their brain, but that is a whole other subject that I would be glad to talk about. So I am not only going to say the common phrase "love yourself," but also love each other.

God calls us to love one another deeply. Love God. Love people. Spread happiness. Repeat and never stop.

“You are altogether beautiful my darling; there is no flaw in you.”
