#about acceptance

There's a reason why we all have such low self-esteems.

We aren't confident in ourselves.

In this day and age and in our society, we see everyday that our natural self isn't the best.

You see commercials, magazines, billboards, mannequins and even on tumblr, where its our second home and a place to get away from all the bullshit, is filled to the brim with the fictional standard of beauty.

We see these things every day and secretly want to be like that. We want to be that girl or that guy.

So what do we do?

We go on crash diets and ignore our favourite foods.

We cake on make-up hoping to be more appealing.

We dress in clothing that is way too expensive and never completely fits right.

Why do we do that? Because we don't have confidence in ourselves.

We need to know when enough is enough.

We need to know when to stand up for ourselves.

We need to learn that we are beautiful the way we are and we shouldn't think of ourselves as anything less.

If we all were to know to emmit confidence than the world would be such a better place. If we learned to stop caring about others' opinion than everything would be so much better.

There would be no more second guessing, no more over-thinking. We would have so much courage, to do the things we always dreamed of.

A lot of the time, it all has to do with how we see ourselves.

Before you worry about how others see you, worry about how you see yourself.

Because living to please others will get you no where.
