Never let anybody tell you that you aren't beautiful. People will always have something negative to say to you, but don't let it control who you become. It's your life and your body. You are beautiful and it doesn't matter what other people think. I have slowly come to realize this. Life will always have it's ups and downs, but you must always be able to rise from the difficulties. Nobody will always talk 100% positive to you or about you. Living is about learning who you are. Not about what others perceive you to be. For me personally, this has been something that I have greatly struggled with. When you get told something frequently enough, it eventually is drilled into your subconscious. You don't realize you are thinking differently or acting differently because it just seems normal to you. This is why it is so important to have people close to you. They can see these changes and are able to make them known to you. They are there for emotional and physical support. I know that they may appear to be against you, but trust me, they only want to help you. Don't push them away. You are beautiful and deserve to live a happy and fulfilling life. Don't let people or society decide who you must be. Be your beautiful and wonderful self. Love yourself for who God made you. He has never made mistakes so why would you consider yourself not perfectly and wonderfully made? Wake up every morning and say to yourself, "I am beautiful!" Go about your day knowing that God made you and that He loves you. There is nothing you need to change about yourself. Never change yourself for a person or for society. They are not worth compromising who you were made to be. Go throughout your day with your head held high. Live a beautiful life because you are beautiful.

Things happen. Simple as that. Decisions and choices you wish you could take back, but can't. People you wish you could erase from your life story, but can't. Everything happens for a reason though. I was told recently not to blame myself. It wasn't my fault. I have felt stupid and foolish. I should have seen all the red flags, but I didn't. Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps every stupid and crappy decision and choice I have made has led me to where I am today. I have grown. Become more confident. I have learned to be more cautious but to also live without beating myself up for messing up. I have done a lot of growing up in the past year and a half. Every decision, thought, word, and person has made me who I am today. Some people may call me a dumb or foolish girl, but in all actuality, I am a young woman that has been through some serious ups and downs in my life, but has come out of them a stronger person. People don't know your story. So when words or phrases are thrown in your face in the attempt to degrade you, don't let it affect you. You know what you have been through and you know how it has changed you. Hopefully for the better. There will be people who know your story, don't judge you for it, and will love and cherish you unconditionally. So never let anything or anyone get you down. Be your own person. Live your life to the fullest with the best intentions possible. Love people. Never hate yourself because of something that happened in the past. Move forward because everything happens for a reason. Live a beautiful life and know that you have a say on how your story ends. I could go on and on forever and talk about how things will get better. How your life won't stay miserable forever. Well, it might stay that way. The way we think about things and how we view the world around us are factors in whether our lives will get better or if they will stay the same. If you truly want to move forward and not stay in the pit you are in, changes will have to be made. Trust me, those changes won't be easy, but if it means your ultimate happiness...don't you think you should at least try? Now if you are content with how things are going or if you are too negative and feel like you can't change things.... Well be my guest and stay where you're at in life. As for me, I desire with a passion to make things better. To live my life to the fullest. To walk around with a smile and laugh that might just cheer someone up. To be spontaneous. To meet new friends and to fall madly and deeply in love. To encourage people. To leave a lasting impression on the world and the generations following behind me. We are all capable of living amazing and wonderful lives, but you must have a passion and dream to live a life like that. It isn't going to just fall in your lap. Strive, work, and change for a life that is fulfilling an rewarding. When you make changes to better your life, that is when it will get better! Once you lose something special and important...it's hard to continue on. I'll admit that it has been one crazy journey for me. It's hard to wake up feeling terrible and feeling like you just need to crawl back in bed. It hasn't been easy to go through my day without having a breakdown. From being happy and all smiles one minute, to being angry or downright depressed and sobbing the next minute. I've just started my journey of grieving, healing and growing and it is not easy. I have wanted to just give up at times, but then I am reminded by God and the special people in my life, that I am a strong person and that I can and will get through this. God doesn't give trials and burdens to people who can't handle them. They are meant to strengthen us and grow us. If you are going through your own hardship, don't give up. It will get better and when you get through it, you will be even more amazing than you already are. So sure, smile, laugh, cry, scream. Do whatever you need to do to get it. Don't give up though. Face each and every day with the determination to get through this. You can do it. When you feel like no one Is listening or that no one will understand, remember that there is a God that created you and loves you and that He is always listening and understands in a way no one ever will. Keep you head up and face this obstacle with determination! I know, we all wish we could go through life without trials, but it is those trials that transform people in beautiful, strong, and wise human beings. To become extraordinary we need those trials. They teach us what life is really about and they help us understand how to get through future hardships. They can either turn you into an old bitter person that hates everything and everyone or they can turn you into something even more beautiful and magnificent. I don't know about you, but I don't want to leave this world being bitter. I don't want people to remember me as someone who hated life and everything in it. I want people to remember me for showing an inner happiness and joy and remember me as someone who loved life and all the people in it. Which would you prefer? If you want a miserable life, then go ahead and let those trials beat you down to nothing. However, if you want to be remembered as a beautiful and joyful person, let those trials help and guide you. Let them teach you about life and people. Let them open your eyes to a world that was once closed to you. When hardships come, don't sit in the corner and wallow in self-pity. Stand up and face them head on with a smile on your face. When people ask why you are smiling, simply tell them, "Because I know I will come out better in the end!" I know it will not be easy to do all the time, but having an optimistic attitude can move mountains. Face the world and when it tries knocking you down, look at it, smile, and say, "I won't let you bring me down! I will fight through this and come out better in the end!" |
