You
are beautiful
You
are precious
You
are valuable
I
know those words can sound weird. When we hear them, we can think
they are not meant for us. At times people told me « you are a
pretty young woman ». I was listening and was responding a
confused thank you while thinking « That's not true, this
person didn't really look at me »
These
kind of thoughts might run through your head : « Oh, she
says that just to be nice... » or maybe « He says that
because he wants to use me in some ways ». This happens when we
feel uncomfortable with the body we have.
When
we hate our body, we can't actually receive compliments. We think
that people around us see the same flaws we see on ourselves ;
that people look at us with the same eyes that we look at ourselves.
But the truth is : we are our own worse enemy.
We
are not born with those negative thoughts in our mind.
If
you look at a happy little girl, there are high chances you will see
her play as a princess. If you tell her she is pretty, she will
totally trust you, smile at you, and proudly walk away with her
little head high. So, then, what happened to us to come to the point
where we think we are ugly and unworthy of love ?
Maybe
it all began with a statement or a joke of a family member or a
friend. Some words can hurt us even if they were not meant to do so.
Moreover, we are facing pressure from the media who wants to tell us
how to behave, what we should possess, what brand to wear, which
cream to apply on our face, what body we should have, how wide our
hips should be, how thin our waist should measure, how many kilos we
should weight, what make up look to copy... everything so that we can
finally be happy, accepted, loved and respected.
But
these are LIES. Why should we look like a person we are not in order
to be happy ?
Nobody
is like me, and I am like nobody. Nobody is like you, and you are not
like anyone.
So
let's look at ourselves with kindly eyes.
You
are wonderfully made
Your
smile is like no other
Your presence is irreplaceable
Therefore,
I encourage you to be yourself. To be the most beautiful YOU !
