Today more than ever, so many young women really, really struggle with self-esteem. The minute we start owning everything about ourselves and accepting we are who we are, we are how we are, and loving ourselves for what we are exactly as we are, it’s at that moment that we start to radiate that. I’ve known so many people through the years who, whether it’s sass or charisma or personality, you’re drawn to them; you’re drawn to something about them as a whole human being, and it’s got nothing to do with their body shape or whether they are traditionally beautiful, you’re just drawn to that person because they own who they are and they’re OK with who they are. You can’t make that shit up, and it takes work; it takes work to find a way to accept ourselves exactly as we are, but the dividends of that, as hard as it can be, are exponential. That’s what I would tell my younger self: Do that work. Get there as soon as you can, because it can only brighten your life and make your experience be less self-obsessed and more confident so that you’re worrying less about you and start to be mindful of other people. There are so many different ways that it can reward you other than just not feeling like a piece of shit every day.
