I’m sure all of you have been through situations where you
hate yourself, when insecurity grips on to you. When you look at yourself in
the mirror, and all you can see is you being overweight or underweight, crazy
hair, puffy eyes, dry skin, oily skin, etc. Those times when you feel rejected,
when you feel like you've failed. When darkness surrounds you, when you feel
like the ugliest of the lot, when you feel you’re worth nothing and your
existence means nothing.
I’m just here to tell you, that you’re not alone. All of us
feel that way. The purpose of this post is simply to remind you, of life's pure
magic, how beautiful, powerful, wonderful you are, and how far you have reached.
You've helped more than you know, you've done better than
you realize and you’re closer than you think. And therefore each time you look
into the mirror, you need to believe that you are more than that. Look beyond
just your face or appearance, you’re not what the world or your friends think
of you. You are not even what you think of yourself. YOU, my friend are beyond
just labels or stereotypes; you are uniquely created, perfectly made. And
therefore it goes beyond just your makeup or hairdo or the clothes you wear. Your
age, or weight, eye colour, skin colour, hair colour doesn't define you. And
hence, you do not need to live up to some ridiculous and unobtainable idea.
Yes, you are not perfect. But neither is anyone else. People
might find you weird, being normal is boring anyway. You have been to hell and
back, your resilience is beautiful. You’re beautiful because you take risks.
You’re an inspiration and you’re real.
It’s normal to ask yourself “where am I going?”… “What am I
to do with my life?”… “Where do I belong?” …“Who am I as a person?” It’s okay to have angry outbursts, or to be
confused about the future or about yourself and the world. Your night-time
unvoiced fears, sudden tears, the sweeping highs, and rocky lows are not what
define you.
You’re the most trustworthy friend, the best child to you
parents, even though they might not think so. Remember, time is on your side
and ‘no’ is never forever. Sit back and think of all your dreams that have
already come true, I’m sure they are a lot. There, you are a legend already.
You know what is right and you know what is wrong. You know what makes you sad and hurtful, as
well as what makes you happy and fulfilled.
What a wonder it is to be you…
You are who you are. You are potential and you can truly be
whatever you wish to. You are possibility, hope and ability. You can do
whatever you want, accomplish things greater than you can ever think of. You are beautiful and special. Nothing that
happens in your entire life can stop your thoughts from becoming things and
your words from giving you wings. Have faith; forget what everything around you
tells you to be. If they don’t notice your good looks, strengths and your sashay,
I feel sorry for them, because, you are beautiful.
You’re beautiful because you believe in things. Even when
it’s easier to be cynical, skeptical, hyper-rational, you keep believing
because you know believing in things is what makes them real. You’re beautiful
for that reason, because you can do something lots of people can’t. You have
been through things most people haven’t. You have been hurt, troubled and you
still stay strong. You are happiness and you give people happiness.
You’re beautiful and you shouldn't wait for someone else to
tell you that. You already know it, just see it. Only if you’re able to love
and believe in yourself with people love and believe in you.
You are in your journey, writing the story of your precious
life. Each day of your life you write a
new paragraph. Make it a wondrous story,
the most exciting and joyous adventure it can possibly become. And always
remember, you’re loved.
You are beautiful!
I Love you guys.
xoxo
