Dear you,

I know right now it isn't easy. You feel inferior, less than you "should" be. You compare yourself to other people. You call yourself mean names like ugly, fat, and worthless. You think so much about the qualities about yourself that you perceive as negative that you hardly ever focus on the positives. Your head is filled with so many insults and bad thoughts that there is no room for happiness and self love. You feel as if it will always be like this; you will never learn to love yourself. You feel like you aren't good enough and never will be.

But I am here to tell you that the thoughts in your head are wrong. You are good enough-- in fact you're much more than that. You're beautiful, strong, and worthy of great things. You're capable of so much merely because you are who you are. Stop comparing yourself to others. You are no less than anyone else in this world. Did you ever think about how amazing it is that the same God who created the mountains, flowers, and sunsets also created you? You are just as beautiful as all of God's other creations. You are unique and unlike anyone else. The world needs you. Stop beating yourself up and telling yourself that you will never amount to anything. Stop calling yourself mean names. Stop telling yourself you're not beautiful. Stop doubting your abilities.

You're amazing just as you are right now. Of course, we can all improve in some areas of our lives, but this does not mean we are not worthy of good things or not good enough. We are constantly improving, and for that we should be proud of ourselves. You're not perfect, and you never will be, but perfection is not what matters in this world. What matters is that you are trying your best and most importantly, accepting yourself as you are. You need to learn to believe that you are enough, because until then you won't be able to embrace life fully. Please trust me when I tell you that you are more than good enough, even if it's hard to believe right now. One day you will see your worth and on that day, you will be inspired to help others to do the same. If you really want to love life and the people around you, you first need to learn to love yourself.
