Honestly I don't know if I'm correctly doing a PSA but if I didn't, dill with it.
So I have had this journal thing going on for quite some time now. You people have read good days of mine, but I've noticed I'm a bit too negative. I want to change that. I want this book to be a positive influence on the readers. I want people to be able to relate to this book. I want people who have bad self esteem to know I've been there. I've been there basically all of my life and now I'm finally accepting myself.
I want people to know it takes time. Good self image has to be worked for. My books are proof of that. Now I've had bad self esteem since around second grade. I tried to change myself, I tried to turn myself into someone I wasn't. I tried for so long. I acted dumb, I acted preppy, I acted for just about all of 2-7 grade.
Eighth grade I started trying to see myself in a new light. I talked someone who helped me a lot. He helped me feel better about myself. He gave me compliments and wouldn't let me be too hard on myself. And I wouldn't be as comfortable with myself as I am know without his help.
But I don't want to be reliant on other people's opinions and compliments. I want to be able to look in the mirror and guy accept myself. Sure, I still have some problems. I'm still working on it. But at least I'm a lot happier than I was just two years ago.
So from now on, I'm going to try and be positive. I'm going to try to be positive for me, for the people who read this, for the people who need positivity.
I'm not saying I have the best self image in the world, far from it actually. But damn it, I'm going to try to help people around me who constantly put themselves down.
You are worth it.
You are amazing.
You are loved.
And I'm not just saying those phrases fuckboys use just for the hell of it. You are loved. I know sometimes you might not feel like anyone loves you, but someone out there does. You are beautiful. Or if you don't feel comfortable with such a feminine compliment, you are handsome. You are special. You are wonderful. You are worth every second of someone's fucking time and if they say otherwise, they can go fuck themselves because you are you! The one and the only you! You are who you are and no one can change that. And you kind of have to live with yourself for the rest of your life so you might as well respect yourself right?
So yay... Positivity!
Remember, you can always PM me if you have a problem or just need to talk to someone. I check wattpad a lot (maybe a bit to much haha) and I may not respond right away but I will respond as soon as possible.
