I am a strong believer in wearing my heart on my sleeve as well as giving everything I have into a relationship. That is until I feel they want me to be someone else. Who you surround yourself with throughout life is ultimately who you become. Why would you ever change for someone when there are people waiting to embrace you, the real you, with open arms?

No one, and I mean no one, should ever make you feel like you need to be someone you aren't. You are beautifully imperfect surrounded with other imperfect human beings. No one knows how to live life the correct way; everyone lives how they think life should be lived. People gravitate toward people who will impact their lives in a positive way, and you need to pick the right ones to let into your life. It's all about our choices.

Everyone I've met lacks confidence, and we all have other individual flaws that make us who we are. No one is perfect, and everyone has their own individual quirks. Flaws don't mean you are not deserving of love, they simply are unique characteristics that make you beautiful. Life is too short to feel nothing but empowered and confident. In a society that is always telling us we are flawed, it is time we stand up and refuse to change our uniqueness.

When you are in a relationship for all the right reasons, the person you love should never imply they want someone "better" looking, and or wishing you had a physical feature you lack. Never allow someone to make you feel inadequate. Stand tall and know that there is only one you in this world, and you are perfect the way you are.

Someone will love you profoundly and effortlessly just the way you are. Changing for someone does nothing for your personal growth. You need to be able to be confident enough not to need people's approval. Be you. Wear that smile on your face and own it.

The most beautiful people in this world don't conform to what society's standards are, they stand out. They embrace their flaws and refuse to be what people desire for them to be. They are brave, they are confident, and they know their self worth. These are all values we need to practice and live by. Don't be ashamed of your flaws. Rock them! You are beautiful, you are unique, and you are special.

Refuse, stand tall, be you, and most importantly know your self worth. You mean something to someone. You are loved beyond measure. Not everyone you meet in life is going to like you or think you are attractive. Everyone has a different definition of beauty. It becomes problematic when they ask you to change for their sake. You are perfectly imperfect my dear.
