Hey Girls, I don't know who needs this, but this thread is all yours....

Sometimes loving yourself means chosing one of the fifty selfies you took that morning and uploading it, instead of deciding they all look horrible and deleting them from embarassment.

Sometimes loving yourself means letting yourself eat your favourite ice cream or that cheesecake instead of freaking out over the possibility of gaining more weight.

Sometimes loving yourself means walking into the dressing room with a crop top and the pair of shorts you have been eyeing from the store and seeing what they look like on you instead of assuming you wouldn't be able to pull them off with your body type.

Sometimes loving yourself means looking in the mirror and shrugging because you look completely fine instead of tearing yourself apart over every single flaw you believe you have.

Sometimes loving yourself means accepting invitations out instead of convincing yourself that you would make a fool of yourself if you went and they probably only invited you to be nice and will secretly be relieved if you don't show up.

Sometimes loving yourself means faking confidence and looking other people in the eyes as they are speaking instead of fidgeting with your jewellery and looking down at the ground because you are too embarassed about your own existence.

Sometimes loving yourself means accepting the compliments you're given (even if you dont believe in them) instead of shaking your head and making excuses about how you feel like a mess and didn't have time to shower and spent way too much on your dress anyway.

Sometimes loving yourself means noticing the pimple sprouting on your face and dabbing concealer on it instead of sitting in front of the mirror for an hour thinking how disgusting it's looking and how you don't wanna leave the house looking that way.

Sometimes loving yourself means complimenting other women on how cute their outfit looks and asking them what brand of shampoo they use for their hair so you could buy the same instead of seething with jealousy about how they look prettier than you.

Sometimes, loving yourself means slowly hating yourself less. It means taking tiny little steps toward the realisation that whatever you are, however you are, you are you and more than enough for the world.
