In today's society, girl's are told what they should be and what they should look like, instead of praising them for who they are.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me", is a load of bull. Words hurt and along those same lines are social media. Every single day, day in and day out, I can't scroll through any of my social media websites or apps without seeing the 'perfect' woman being advertised and praised. On social media, I see pictures of girls with completely unrealistic body images captioned "oh, she bad" or "wifey" or "perfection". When in all reality - none of it is realistic. It makes the girls that don't look like that feel like they aren't enough.

But I'm here to tell you otherwise.

Who gives a shit if you don't have a flat stomach. Who cares if you do? Why should anyone care if you have stretch marks or cellulite? Who should be able to tell you you're not good enough because you're not skinny, or you're not thick enough. The world does not revolve around how men see women or how women see other women.

You are enough. However you are built, whatever your weight, no matter the stretch marks or cellulite on your skin, you are enough. The thoughts you think about yourself are what matters the most, and if you focus on the negatives of yourself instead of looking at everything that's really important then you'll be unhappy. Realize that everything about you makes you who you are. Your weight does not define you. Your curves or lack-thereof, do not matter.

The media is responsible for ruining girls self-confidence by telling them what they should look and be like, instead of focusing on more important issues like self-love.

Your body shape should not be a "deal breaker" when it comes to being wanted. Know your self worth, love yourself, and know what you deserve.

Your weight does not define you.

You are enough.
