Read these
words and look at yourself in a mirror.
If you have
extra weight on you, grab onto it. Pull on your hips. Hold your
chest. Feel every indentation on your thighs. Imagine this. The
person you’re going to marry, right now, is imagining
grabbing onto you like that when you make love for the first
time. Wrap your arms around yourself. Feel every roll, every
bump, every crack, and every hair. Your future husband or wife
can’t wait to feel that like you can. Your hips are
amazing. Your thighs are beautiful. Your hair looks amazing
today. If your belly shakes when you walk down the stairs, poke
at it and smile. Look at yourself in the shower. Cry if you need
to. Let it all out. but at the end of that shower, imagine how
bad someone is aching to shower with you right now. If your
relationship isn’t going as planned. for whatever reason,
take a step back and look at the big picture. Is this person
worth theanxiety? Is this person worth the tears streaming down
your face right now? How many times have you felt that pit in
your stomach? How much do you love them? How much do they love
you? How many times are you going to fight before you decide
what’s best for you? and yes, YOU. Not them. You. because
no matter what, one thing I learned over time is that, the only
person you have for the rest of your life is yourself. And if
that person is your soul mate, it will work itself out. I
promise. If you don’t have a smile on your face right now,
for whatever reason, just keep in mind that you are so special.
You are so f**king special. If it’s trouble in your family,
f**k those people. Make your own family in the hearts of your
best friends. If it’s your friends, f**k those people.
Because that’s all they are. They’re people. just
like you. Make new friends. make better friends that respect you
andrespect your heart. If you’re anxious, write down a list
of everythingyou have that you’re thankful for. Every
little thing. Write about your dog, write about music, write
about roller coasters and how much you love/hate them, describe
the best thing you’ve ever had to eat, write down your
favorite color and explain why, call him, call her, talk to
someone. Talk until you can’t breathe anymore. Write your
name down. Write it big. Make it loud. Tear it up or hang it up
above your bed. Value yourself. because this is what you’re
living with. and you are beautiful.
