Self love can be hard, but it's so worth it. Even the little things.

15 Reasons to Love Yourself
Delaney Malloy

We've all been in those moods where we feel like giving up. We can always find the little things we hate about ourselves. I know, it's often hard to look in a mirror and say, "Wow, I really love myself." The truth is that the more you love yourself, the less negativity you have in your world. I want to spread more positivity for everyone, so here are 15 reasons to love yourself.

1. You are one of a kind.

Even if you were cloned, you would still be original.

2. The only person you have to be is you.

Stop trying to adapt yourself to be like a celebrity or movie character, just own being you.

3. The only person you need to impress is yourself.

Other people don't like your style? Forget them. They think your makeup is dumb? Put on some more of that purple lipstick and rock it.

4. You're your best supporter.

Confidence is key.

5. Only you know exactly how to cheer yourself up.

Get yourself some Ben & Jerry's and binge watch Gossip Girl.

6. You're the only one who know every single one of your thoughts.

If other people knew ALL your thoughts it would get a little scary.

7. You can play your favorite movie without having to ask what it is.

So pop in some Harry Potter and pretend you're a wizard.

8. You can also order your favorite food without having to ask where from.

Of course order, because it always tastes better when you don't have to cook it.

9. You can count on yourself for sharing eye rolls with yourself.

At a family party and your distant cousin has yet another new "boyfriend"? You know how you're feeling.

10. You are literally 1 in 7 billion.

Statistics don't lie.

11. You know exactly how hard you worked for your accomplishments.

Worked your butt off for something? Go you!

12. You are the number one person you can count on.

When it all comes down to it, you gotta trust yourself.

13. You've always had your back.

You've stood up for yourself when nobody else did. You know what? You didn't even need them.

14. You know how to work your selfie angles.

You've taken so many pictures of yourself, you know which one is perfect for Instagram.

15. Finally, "There's nothing more badass than being yourself." -Darren Criss

Being yourself takes courage, but it's worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
