My very last blog!! I am so excited. Believe it or not this is my fourth time starting this. I want to end with a really good one! So this one is about self-love. This world is full of cruel and evil things. That’s way having love for yourself is so important. It’s not being selfish or cocky or anything like that. You are just simply choosing yourself. As a teenage girl, I know that coming up using social media and seeing everyone post bikini pictures, I wanted to look more like them. Or girls posting pictures of them and their fathers on father’s day I want to have a relationship like that with my father. But I had to realize that God gave me this life because he wanted me to have it. He made me in his image and for that I am so thankful. If you really know me, you know I LOVE vsco. I saw a quote on there not too long ago that said, “My self worth is not determined by others.” Our self worth shouldn’t be determined by what other people say about us, or how much we have, or smart we are. It should be determined by how we feel about ourselves regardless of other people’s input. We should all be comfortable in our own skin. You have to accept your flaws and realize everyone has them. Make the best out of yours! Okay... another vsco quote.. “you can’t love someone else until you love yourself first” This is the main reason young relationships don’t work out. People try to rush into getting a bf/gf before they even know who they are. When you decide to love yourself, you learn things about yourself that you didn’t even know. You start to learn what “energy” you want from the people around you. Starting to love yourself is hard because it takes a lot of sacrifices. You can’t always do what you want to do. You have to start focusing on what you need. I hope all of you have a smooth journey of learning to love yourself and to always put your happiness first! Love you guys! <3
