I hope you realize, that you are beautiful

---

You spent your whole life selling yourself short. I was never smart enough, skinny enough, pretty enough. Never once did you feel good enough and the thought of you never being “enough” eats you up inside. That negativity you continuously choose to foster only replenishes this vicious cycle of self hatred you’ve instilled in yourself.

You kept feeding into your desire of feeling less than. Celebrities, friends, even random strangers that pass you by. You always made a bad habit of comparing yourself to anyone that seemed to be remotely better than you, in any shape or form — like second nature. You’re never really satisfied with who you were so you look at others to epitomize what true beauty looks like, never realizing that you‘ve radiated that same typa beauty all along.

Understand that your beauty radiates from within you and it captivates the ones who are lucky enough to be in your presence.

When people call you beautiful, believe it. Learn how to accept their compliments despite your own self-doubts. They wouldn’t waste their breathe if they didn’t believe it to be true.

But at the same time, don’t depend solely on others to remind you of your beauty. You shouldn’t feel the need to measure it through the amount of likes on your selfies, guys that seek for your attention, or even by the amount of compliments you receive on a day-to-day basis. Sure, it’s nice to be showered with attention and gratification from others but you’ll never truly be happy until you see yourself in that same light. You gotta believe it too.

“You are fire and it’s about time you started to feel your own warmth”

Stop trying to be good enough and realize that you are good enough. Commit to loving yourself fully and whole heartedly because nothing is more beautiful, nothing is more empowering than a woman who knows her self worth.
