To Be Beautiful Means To Be Yourself. You Don’t Need To Be Accepted By Others. You Need To Accept Yourself.

Geneva, Switzerland

Learning to love yourself is a lesson no one ever taught us. They didn’t tell us how to deal with all the ugly scars that only we can see and how to close our minds to the wicked whispers that make us wish we could shed our skin like a snake, just to feel renewed for a few moments. But inside, trapping on your ribcage, is a heart that loves you so immeasurably. And little by little, heartbeat by heartbeat, it’s asking you to love yourself. They only taught us to be deaf to this plea. You won’t break your own heart now, would you?

Dignity /ˈdignitē/ noun 1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache. 2. The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes. 3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent’s wisdom. 4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People’s opinions don’t matter. 5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself. 6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it, need it or God prevented it. 7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don’t want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable. 8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission. 9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from. 10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.

Why is it so bad to want someone to love you? To crave you. To hold you. To want you. Why is that so bad?

Not bad at all

I’ve always put your happiness before mine and maybe that’s why I’m sad. I’ve put everyone’s happiness before mine expecting someone to do the same and no one ever did.
