I know what you're thinking. This is just going to be yet another article telling me I need to love myself and live life happily ever after. You're partially right, you should love yourself unconditionally, but sometimes it's easier said than done — and I understand that.

I know what it feels like to struggle daily with the way you look, the way you sound, the way you do things, etc. It seems like a never ending battle within yourself and sometimes it can be hard to pull yourself out of that.

Learning to love yourself is such a grueling battle at times because it's all in your head, and it's so hard for others to understand what you're actually going through. But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Advice to you, live every day as if you have nothing but opportunity in front of you — because you do. Wear things that make you feel good about yourself and hold on to that feeling. Don't get me wrong, you're going to have bad days and that's OK. It's a part of life, but you have to get through them and come out on top because there is so much more to see in this world than just your flaws. They don't define you, the way you live your life does.

So take a deep breath, step away from the mirror and remind yourself that you are beautiful, and you have nothing but opportunity in front of you.
