You need to love yourself first. Sure, it is nice to have a family member, friend or significant other who will be there to lift your spirits or complement when you get a bad hair cut, fail an exam or gain a few pounds. BUT at the end of the day, you need to learn to be there for yourself. When you are alone, when you look in the mirror, when you make a tough decision -- you are in control of your own thoughts. No one else. So you must see the best in yourself and stop looking for others to do so. Until you fully love yourself despite every single one of your faults, you can't truly love others or let others really love you. With a full face of makeup and heels or last night's makeup and a frizzy bun... love it all. The gap between your teeth, the curve of your hips, the way your hair always curls when it's humid.. love those too! Confidence comes from within and once you're able to see your beauty even on your worst days, then all will begin to fall into place. See the opportunity to grow from hard experiences, the change to make yourself proud when you're terrified. See the strength in your muscles to lift your body out of bed in the morning and your power within to smile even when you feel sad. You are only given one change at this life and you will spend every second for the rest of it with one person, yourself. So love the one you're with.
This DOES NOT always come easy, trust me. BUT if you try every single day to just accept all of yourself ..one day you won't have to try. Just quit listening to others, good or bad, and allow yourself to find comfort in being there and comforting yourself even when it is the hardest to do so.
That is all.. back to midterms.
Bye for now!
