Fall In Love With Yourself
Magic4Walls

Recently, I was browsing Pinterest, as I do, when I stumbled upon a quote by the amazing Sex and the City character, Carrie Bradshaw.

"Don't forget to fall in love with yourself first." It seems simple enough. You have to love yourself before you love someone else or expect them to love you.

This quote just hit me hard. Why was I always looking for someone to like me or love me, when I didn't even like myself? How could I expect someone to love me when I was hating myself? This summer I've really taken the time to love who I am and accept myself physically and mentally. You have to overcome your fears and insecurities (and trust me it is hard) in order for others to love you and to move on with life. Don't be a Charlotte York. Don't wait around spending your entire life waiting for someone to fall in love with you before you even fall in love with yourself.

Love yourself. Love who you are. I know it's hard to fall in love with yourself and accept all your flaws, but it is so important to. Be confident. Embrace who you are. Because you are amazing and you should love yourself so that you can be welcoming to love and accepting love when it comes.

Always take the time to love yourself first. Take time to find that self-confidence. Take time for you. Find yourself and fall so in love with every aspect of who you are, even the hard stuff to love. Once you do, amazing things will start changing and you will realize how much love is around you

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
