I had some difficult times when I first moved to Los Angeles when people would tell me I was saying things wrong. I felt different although my mum kept reminding me it was OK to be different.
That’s not love. That’s not how love is supposed to feel. But there is someone out there who will show me what real, honest love is. They will respect and accept me for me and won’t make me feel less than. In order to find that person and truly let them in, first I must believe in myself and know my own value. It’s not selfish to want these things nor is it selfish to think them. I deserve happiness. I deserve to be loved just as I love others. I deserve everything.
Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. It’s one of the bravest things you can do. And it can save your life.
Just because someone treats me badly doesn’t mean that I am a bad person or unworthy.
Standing out in a crowd is much more rewarding than blending in.
You deserve happiness. You deserve to be loved just as you love others. You deserve everything.
Some may underestimate her abilities – and those are the ones she enjoys shocking the most.
I will never need anyone to complete me. I am enough on my own.
And listening to my heart is one of the most powerful things I can do.
Our heart is our ultimate source of power.
Being free and uninhibited is beautiful. Trying something new is invigorating. Don’t live a boring life if you can add a little silly into it every once in a while.
I now view food as energy for my mind and body rather than something to be scared of. It’s fuel, not punishment. Because without it, I can’t grow stronger, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Anxieties and issues don’t just disappear if we don’t talk about them. In fact, we can’t fully deal with them if we don’t open up.
By sharing, we learn that we’re not alone, that we’re not so different after all. We all want to feel part of something greater.
And if someone isn’t making me feel like the best version of myself, I should move on and find someone who will!
Substitutions didn’t have to mean you skipped out on flavor.
Not dealing with the root of the problem means they’ll never get better.
You have to love yourself the most and use your voice.
It’s no secret that we as women all want to look and feel our best. But what is a secret is how insecure this pressure can make us feel.
But now i know. Now i know i deserve to be the happiest, most fulfilled version of myself that I can possibly be. And i promise to use my experiences to continue to grow, heal and expand my life. It starts with me.
No relationship is greater than the one I have with myself.
