There are many days out of the week where I wish I were someone else. At times I wish I could be the perfect size or I wish to be the perfect shape or have prettier hair. or I had a perfect personality. No one is perfect, but in my head, someone else will always be better or look better than me.

No matter how much someone may say they are, no one is perfect.

Flaws are a good thing, they make us who we are and us unique. There is only so much I can do to try and fix certain flaws because I will just find another to dislike. I need to see that I’m not supposed to be a 00 or I’m not supposed to be as pretty as I wish to be.

Sometimes I just have to stop looking at my flaws and see what I have as a blessing. We all do. Everyone has things about themselves that they don’t necessarily like, but others don’t see it that way. I can’t stand that my mind does this, or that I make myself feel this way but that’s what happens. We need others and envy everything that they have that we don’t. I must learn to self-love and see that what I have is enough.

The media these days helps us see ourselves as not enough, or not being the perfect size. We see people who look gorgeous and hope to look like one day. But instead, we need to see the gorgeous people we already are. This process of learning to love ourselves is easier said than done. But it can be done, no matter what we see, hear or think, we can do it. We can overcome these insecurities and thoughts of needing to be someone else. We must remind ourselves of what we have and be thankful for it.

We must learn self-love, because it's the best and long-lasting love we will ever have. It's all we can rely on. We are who we are, and thats enough.
