Last night I was thinking about how my idea of beauty has changed. I used to think that being super skinny and having the hottest clothes was beauty. Now that I have gone through all that I did, my definition has changed.
Now I think beauty is being comfortable in your own skin. Excepting your flaws and owning what makes you who you are. If your skinny, curvy, tall, short or have a disability. You are BEAUTIFUL. No one gets to tell you how to feel about you. They can spew words of hate or try to dim your light but you will shine through every time. I know it may feel like they see the real you and I know it hurts. Nothing that has ever been said badly about you is true, you are worthy and deserving.
I have battled self-hate and self-mutilation for years. People used to tell me I was fat, ugly and I should have died at birth. Yeah, those words stung and I wanted to change everything about who I was. Many times I tried to end it all and a few times I almost succeeded. Here I am ten years later happier with who I am and helping others. Some days I still battle my looks but more days then not I am finding things I love about myself. Just focus on your happiness and how you feel about yourself. At the end of the day, the only opinion that matters about you is your own.
Self-esteem equals a brighter world for you. Sure there will be clouds but they shall pass.
