Many girls ask me "How do I love myself?" or "how do you love yourself?". Heres my advice I look at this beautiful world and this ugly society and I think to myself what have people done to deserve shame for their bodies? Our society puts this image in our head of having a small waste, skinny legs, big boobs and butt. That image that we imagine is thought as pretty, but what I think is that there is no definition of a perfect body or one pretty. There are millions of women with different body shapes. Push away those who say negative things about your beautiful body. When I grow up and have a little girl I don't want her to think that she is fat or too skinny, nothing else but beautiful. We all have flaws, show them off be proud of them. We are all so unique, we are all beautiful in so many different ways. Sometimes people will body shame you out of jealousy and that is the worst feeling in the world you always want what you don't have, but start to think about the things you do have. Your friends are in your life for make you feel better, they make you a better person and if they find a way not to do that then they may not be worth your time. Loving yourself is not easy and it takes time, but it's never too late to start. No matter what people say about your body, its beautiful.
