In a world full of negativity and constant ridicule it is imperative that our generation promotes self love. There are more reasons to love yourself than one would think or see in the mirror. On those days when I see nothing but the bad, I have to remember that I am worthy of love. That love should come from within. Here are some reasons to love yourself:

1. There is only one you

You are unique and special, you should show your weirdness and be super proud of it.

2. You are beautiful

Just like James Blunt said, you're beautiful. You might think to yourself "I'm not as skinny as a Victoria's Secret model" or "I wish my boobs were bigger" just learn to accept it and love what you got. It can be a challenge to be comfortable in your own skin but you should be. There is plenty about you that is unique, special, and gorgeous so flaunt it.

3. Never let anyone define your existence

So what if that stupid boy doesn't like you? That doesn't mean you shouldn't love yourself honey. Be powerful and beautiful and know that there are plenty more where he came from.

4. Practice day-by-day self love.

It won't happen overnight but you can teach yourself positivity, it can be as simple as posting positive quotes on instagram. Start small, but teach yourself love instead of hate.

5. Buy clothes that make you feel good

Everyone should have one outfit, pair of shoes or even a lipstick that makes them feel fabulous when they are depressed. Put that on, and show the world what you are made of. It is so important to how you carry yourself.
