Positivity bomb there you go
People keep hoping that others would stop saying bad things about their looks and their bodies because when we live in our own skin filled with so much insecurities and a world where people keep reminding you of those insecurities by repeatedly pointing them out, it’s quite hard to feel accepted and loved. What most don’t understand is that people will always judge you and make you feel less of who you really are. What you should be doing is telling yourself not to make fun of your own body. Maybe you see yourself as ‘ugly’ or ‘fat’ or worthless or even downright disgusting. But you know that deep down, you wouldn’t bee seeing yourself as all those things if not for those who have told you that you were so. Without their knives disguised as sounds emitted from their mouths stabbing you where it hurts the most, you would still be able to see who and what you truly are; a beautiful person. People will always try to bring you down with them and you shouldn’t expect them to stop. So when their hurtful words are pulling you down, clinging to you like the last breath you would breathe (ellie goulding reference right here) and you feel like they’ll never let go, that they’ll never stop, be the one to shake them off and tell yourself you are who you want to be and not what anyone else says you are. You are strong and beautiful and powerful and you deserve to be loved. If you feel like no one sees you the way you want them to, then it’s up to you to look in the mirror and smile, laugh at the way a bit of extra skin folds in certain places not because you are making fun of them but because they are a part of you, hug yourself, tell yourself you are beautiful — and mean it. Love every single part of you because no one has the capability to love yourself as much as you do. There will be someone out there who will find that loving you is the best thing that they have ever done and it’s all they want to do for the rest of their life and that might be such a blissful serendipity. You could believe in the saying ‘love yourself first’ or not but you should understand that you should love yourself even if the only time you do is after you find someone who will treat you like the spring breeze, sweeping you off your feet and who will look at you as if you were the brightest star in the night sky. Love yourself because you deserve all the love in the world.
