As a kid the last thing i pictured myself doing when i grew up was being a model. I was physically & mentally abused growing up & from elemetary school through highschool, i was teased in every possible way you can imagine. Kids would throw a tissue at me and say wipe the crap marks off your face. My clothes, shoes, & body was constatly the target for kids to go for since my grandparents couldnt afford nice clothes. I wasnt the girl that was asked out to prom so I know exactly how it feels to not fit in.
What people fail to realize is that in a way its an advantage that was given to us. I know it seems crazy but take me as an example, because i was always broken down it made me humble, I learned how to use my personality instead of what i looked like. I was always at the bottom which let me meet & accept all different kind of people as i rebuilt myself. Ofcourse it sucked growing up this way & it wasnt easy at all.
Here is where people let their past define them, when they believe other peoples opinions of themselves. Let that broken feeling turn into compassion for others, What you believe about yourself is what you are, Start over if you have to. Fall in love with your personality, I still do to this day. I learn new things about myself that i never did before because i allowed other to tell me who i was. Love your good qualities & laugh at the bad. People will start to love you when you love yourself. I know its cliche but it could be more on point. I went through hell growing up but i took back control of my life & I'm grateful i did. Whatever your story is, take the lessons you've learned & let go of the rest. We are given a new day to start fresh, which doesn't mean keep doing the same thing that hasn't worked for you, its a new day to take the lessons you've learned and continue to grow as a person.
Fall more in love with yourself everyday & everyone else will follow.
