âLove yourselfâ
I kept trotting from this two-word in my vitality. It followed me around. Internet was and is flooded with phrases like Self-love, Self-confidence, Love yourself, etc but have you ever realised how hard it is to certainly care for yourself, to actually acknowledge yourself when people around you invariably say `you look a little fat in that, this dress doesnât suit you, are you dieting? How are you so slim, your makeup is too much, why arenât you seeing a dermatologist, your face looks so ugly â I have always read that you shouldnât point out things about someone if they canât change it. But in real life people always do, they'll do that all the time they'll point out your imperfections and thatâs where our insecurities grow, thatâs where my insecurities grew. When I was combatting from myself because of the acne issues, The only thing people could talk about whenever I met them was `her face is getting awful she should see a dermatologistâ It was like me as a person was only about acne and nothing else. After seeing doctors and dermats eventually, I'm overcoming my acne subjects and now that I have apparent skin people started seeing and addressing me. One aspect I realised in the past years is that the layers of your skin your imperfections, donât define who you are as a person, who you are to yourself, to the people around you. When you donât give a f**k about peopleâs viewpoint thatâs when you certainly can give a f**k about your damn self because people come and go and can talk s**t about you but what you have within can never be taken away, when you start to find love inside you, you will stop looking for it in others acknowledgement. I know itâs hard but work on being in love with the person who's in the mirror who has been through so much but is still standing. We must sometimes learn to let go and enjoy the beauty that resides in the imperfection within, that is true acceptance.
Always remember that you are absolutely unique and this uniqueness is what makes you the most of imperfectly perfect. We were built differently. Locate your own uniqueness.
