If you don't love yourself,

If you don't appreciate yourself,

If you don't respect yourself,

If you don't accept yourself,

If you don't forgive yourself,

Then who will?
Don't wait for someone to love your scars, your imperfections- things about yourself that you can't love or appreciate.

You can love yourself. Love every scar, your features, your chubby cheeks and every other thing that you think is a problem.

You can appreciate yourself. Appreciate that you are who you are. Not a duplicate of someone else.

You should respect yourself. You survived every fall that the roller coaster of life gave you.

Accept yourself. It's okay not to have stick skinny legs, or be able to sing. Accept the things that you are not able to do. It's okay to fail. Stand up and get back on your feet again. Accept and acknowledge the things that you can do.

Last but not least, forgive yourself. Don't beat yourself up over things that are beyond your control. Or things that you don't intend to happen, but happened. Forgive yourself to move on and learn and grow.

There are so many things in life that are worth discovering, learning and seeing. Don't confine yourself to the norms. Don't compare your life to somebody else's. It is two different storybooks with a very different ending.

Write your own bestseller.

At least, make your sufferings worth going through. A bridge to better things.

I know you can do it.
