There she was, looking at a masterpiece in the mirror. I couldn’t help but admire every inch of her. She has beautiful brown silky wavy hair, bright brown eyes, smooth caramel skin and a bright smile she tends to hide. I used to despise the color brown for I found it hideous, now it became my favorite color for it reminds me of her. After I finished admiring her exterior beauty I began to examine her day by day, how she is as a person and what her life consists of. Let me tell you, I was in love with her physic but now, her inner beauty has me convinced she is the one. You see, she wasn’t your ordinary type of girl that likes to socialize with everyone they meet, go to parties, and do things people her age do. She has another way to enjoy her days without having to be extra. She loves to read non-fiction books because it helps her feel what the author felt. Sometimes books make her cry because she begins to care about people she has never met. She also enjoys reading poetry because she likes feeling understood. Oh, but what’s even better about this girl is, she L-O-V-E-S to write! She writes fictional letters, short stories and poems as well. She’s not an “okay” writer, she’s a PHENOMENAL writer because she helps the reader FEEL what she feels through her writing. She helps the reader visualize the character and helps the reader feel connected to the character. Her pieces of writing truly helps you understand her as a person as well if you closely examine it. She has a huge heart, which is open to anyone who wants to humbly welcome themselves. She doesn’t realize how it’s not such a great thing sometimes but, she only wants to spread love and support to others. Like honestly, I’ve never seen this girl turn anyone away who needed her, and that should speak loud for itself. I admire this girl, she’s always there for anyone at any time but, she doesn’t have that same type of support. She never complains about it because she’s understanding of others and knows how busy life can get. I have honestly never met a woman as strong as her, because through everything life has thrown at her she is still pushing forward. She finds a way to push through all the bumps in the road and maintains such a positive mind while doing so. I don’t know how she does it day after day but, god bless her for never giving up. She’s also really humble and loves to take care of others! Although, after reading this you might not believe me on the humble part. She has per priorities set up and has goals for herself that she accomplishes. She also never lets anyone belittle her because she knows her value very well. She’s absolutely fearless in everything she puts her heart and soul into as well! You’d think that someone would consider the consequences to something before acting but, she doesn’t like to wait. She knows sometimes the consequences can be harsh but, that’s never stopped her from doing what she knows is going to make a positive impact. Oh! But what caught my heart the most about this girl is that, she has this strong passion for empowering young women. She believes that every young girl should LOVE, VALUE and ADMIRE themselves. She believes that young women are the future, and should not be looked down upon because “they’re girls”. She wants to help other girls realize how amazing they are and how they’re no different than boys. This girl I’m talking to you about grew up with the stereotype “women aren’t meant to go to work, they’re meant to be housewives.” And she hated that so much. She hated being belittled because of her gender so, every day she makes sure she works hard to prove that stereotype wrong. I fell deeply in love with this girl at 18 and I don’t think I can ever fall out of love with her. She’s so great, she’s accomplished so much, and strives for more every day. This girl is me, and I learned to love myself and value myself after years of trying to convince myself I was worthless. You see, you have to learn to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are before you begin to love others. There are going to be times where you believe that you’re not “good enough” but really, you’re already great you just want to become greater. There’s nothing wrong with wanting more from yourself, that’s never going to be a problem. Just as long as you remember how amazing you already are and how hard you’ve worked throughout your life to become the person you are today. You do not have to wait for someone to acknowledge your worth, ADMIRE YOURSELF and LOVE YOURSELF.
