I am slowly, but very surely learning the value and necessity of self love. In a world where we are constantly seeing the very best of everyone's lives and comparing our worst to their best; in a world where nothing we ever do is good enough or worthy of love; in a world where we are constantly judged by others and ourselves; in a world where we consider ourselves very last on a list of things and people that are worthy of our love; in a world where people are cruel and the most cruel are usually ourselves... I am practicing self love. I have to remind myself to do it every hour of every day. But, I know that I am worth it. Not because of me, but because I am His daughter and my worth was set in stone before my mama pushed me out of her vagina!
Younique has forced me, literally, to post pictures of my dang self... to do Lives every single day, even on my very worst days when I don't want to show my face to anyone... to fill my well every day so that I CAN fill other peoples' wells also. We can't help others to see their worth if we don't value our own.
I LOVE that Younique has the ability, at least with me, to empower, validate and inspire. I am teaching myself these lessons every day. And, it might not seem like I'm doing a great job when you see all of the drama in my life with men who are cookoo for cocoa puffs... but what you don't see is me setting boundaries and saying, "No." "Not today, Scooter." Just because they are posting outrageous stories and Lives does not mean I have any communication with them. I don't. I am so dang proud of myself for learning that I am worth it and saying, "no."
I hope to be able to continue to inspire myself and love myself... especially because we can't count on the world to do it for us!
