"Put your salt on the shelf, go on & love yourself because everything is gonna be alright." -India Arie
We often hear "love yourself & everything will fall into place" but is it easier said than done? ABSOLUTELY! It takes time & work but I promise it's worth it. Yes, we live in a country w. shallow beauty standards but it's our choice to either live by those standards or change them. If you don't love yourself, it's hard for others to love you. Remember, the way you treat yourself is the way that others will treat you. By not loving yourself, you are basically telling your creator that they did a horrible job, so let that feeling go today. Start by listing everything you adore about yourself. Read that list whenever you feel down, add to it when you feel yourself growing & maturing..be proud of that list. There is no one in the world like you, you are beautiful & special. Embrace that! (keep reading)
It took me a while to love Dezzy, I had to be completely honest with myself & repeat positive affirmations to get past every insecurity. When you finally get to a place where you are comfortable in your skin & love yourself without any judgement, you will discover that it's the best feeling. I still have my days when I find something to complain about on my body but the love I have for myself is never erased. I am so in love with this girl that has dark chocolate skin, curly/kinky hair, full lips, almond shaped eyes, love handles (hehe), a passionate spirit, & forgiving heart. If I can love myself, you can too. Stay blessed :)
P.S. Thank you Dana for giving me this topic to indulge in! Let me know if you want to request a topic :)
