Do you ever feel like your entire life is falling completely apart? Or how about how nothing ever seems to go your way? Maybe you feel like you are cursed and don't know what to do to help yourself. Maybe you hate yourself. Well, I will be the first to tell you, I’ve felt all of those things and I've been there.
I’ve been to the lowest of lows with my self esteem and self love. I’ve hated myself for how I looked, how much I weighed, for the job I had, for how much money I made. I have hated myself for so many things it’s unbelievable.I even used think that no one could possibly understand or help me, that I was just a big fat failure. But, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret called self love.
Self love is hard and with today’s society dictating to us what body type is in style, how we should dress and do our hair and our makeup, it doesn't make us feel any better about ourselves. Not to mention the fact that if we aren’t up on the latest fashion or beauty trend we are looked at as if we are the odd one out. But, it’s not just the fashion and beauty trends, it is politics and everything else that makes up the world. How can we love ourselves when we can’t even love each other? I think thats the million dollar question, and I don’t know the answer to it, but I can sure try and suggest a few things and it starts with self love.
To love yourself, you must see yourself as you are. You are a person. You breathe. You laugh. You cry. You smile. You shout. You judge others for what they have or what they don’t have. Its human nature and all of us are guilty of all of those things, and if you say you aren’t then you lie. You're lying to yourself and the first step is to admit that you are lying to yourself. As soon as you stop, you will see everyone and everything in a whole new light.
You will learn that we are all just human, and that everyone feels sad sometimes. Everyone has fat days, shit everyone might even hate the way they look in the mirror most days, but the thing that we should try and see is that we are not alone. Someone else is out there feeling the same way, and by letting go and accepting that you are who you are and you look how you look, you can help them accept themselves too.
You are one of a kind. You are beautiful. You are unique. You are special. You are a perfect human. And you, as a perfect human, should love others as they are. As soon as you stop being to hard on yourself, you stop being hard on others, and it becomes easier to see them as a person and understand that they are just as confused in life as you are. It’s all part of life and the sooner we accept that, the sooner we can move on and become the person we have always wanted to be. Someone who is happy, someone who is self assured and someone who knows self love.
