“I’m one in a billion.”

Insecurities. I have them just like any normal people. I envy people who have what I don’t. But then, I realized I also have something that they don’t. I believe this is how God creates fairness. He did not give us all so that we could fit and complement with others. Actually, it’s society’s sickness for having these so called standards. Standard for living. Standard for beauty. And not everyone could keep up from all of these, I believe.

Self-love. With all of those insecurities, loving one’s self has somehow become a hard job to do. It’s like every day is a constant battle between finding one’s worth and fighting over one’s insecurities. There are even times we misinterpret engaging into romantic relationships as a measure of being lovable though it’s really not. We often romanticize having someone who will give us the assurance that those insecurities will be gone. But then once you broke up with that someone, your insecurities will become worse. You will keep on questioning your worth. “Am I not enough?” “Why do people keep on leaving me?” “What’s wrong with me?” Girl, wake up!!! You are more than enough. This is an unpopular opinion from a girl like me who’s also on the edge of loving myself; most of the time, knowing your worth must be self-done. I mean you can never be truly happy if your happiness totally depends on others. Right? So, love yourself girl. Cheer up!  Enjoy your own company. Let yourself breathe. Lastly, be rare. Remember, you're one in a billion.
