5 Reasons To Love Yourself

I continuously see girls put themselves down, and point out every flaw. Look in the mirror and understand that your 'flaws' don't define you.

5 Reasons To Love Yourself
Hey Sigmund

1. You are beautiful.

Whether you think you are worth nothing and feel your flaws outweigh your good, you are beautiful. Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. Beauty is not defined by the way you look, but by who you are and what you stand for.

2. Loving yourself attracts love

Loving yourself is a huge factor in life. Learn to love yourself because if you do others will look at you as a confident woman, someone who knows how special they are. Men tend to like a woman who loves herself and stands her ground.

3. Self-love leads you to a 24/7 best friend.

Loving yourself can lead you to your very best friend: yourself. No matter how many friends leave your life, you always have you. You are in control of your body and mind. We take care of ourselves, and we reward ourselves when we feel we did a good job. We do not need someone to tell us we did good, because in our head we already know.

4. Suzy Kassem stated, "An original is worth more than a copy".

Love yourself enough to be different. Do not get caught up in what other people are doing. Reading magazines and keeping up with social media, I tend to find myself wondering what it would be like if others didn't follow each other, but instead decided to be their own leader. Be yourself and love yourself because being a copy is boring.

5. There is only 1 you out of 7 billion people in the world.

Take advantage of the fact that not one person in the world is 100% like you. Your smile, laugh and personality are unique. The thought of being different than every other person in the world is an incredible feeling. You are different so enjoy that thought.

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.
