On a new day I would run away ... 

Hello again muffins & welcome back to today’s blog!

Sorry I haven’t wrote in a while, I am just really good at procrastinating and I like to show off.

& here we go

Random Fact OTD:  It is a commonly known fact that astronauts living aboard the International Space Station grow up to 3 percent taller while living in microgravity. They return to their normal height when back on Earth. (provided to you by google.com)

I decided I’m going to start doing this random fact of the day because

 1. It’s adds to the dynamic of the blog making it cute and edgy at the same time. It also contributes to a certain vibe I am trying to attain.

 2. Life is interesting and facts are cool.

...

Today I took a selfie that I actually like for the first time in a LONG time. I do struggle with a lot of self-esteem issues but honestly I think everyone does. That doesn’t make it any less important, it just makes the topic a little less lonely and easier to talk about. 

A few years back I know that I really didn’t think I was pretty, and the weird thing was that I never really paid attention to that. Instead I focused on my friends and how they were doing with themselves. Looking back I realize now I should have been taking my own advice.

It has been a long time since those days and now I know better than to give all of my energy and attention to people who don’t reciprocate. Mainly I figured out the person I really needed to point my attention towards was myself, because I was feeling like my emotions were less important and/or were being ignored.

I used to wonder how so many people were so content and confident in who they were but now I see how everyone moves at a different pace. It took time and experience to see my own potential and to be able to love the things about me that matter. Here are some things I love about me that I didn’t used to until I could fully understand my worth:

Hard work and health. 

Loyalty and courage. 

Perseverance and compassion.

Self love is not always about looks. It’s about the little things we create with the lives we have been given.

Not every day is easy. Some days I wake up and would rather go back to sleep then have to deal with struggling with working on and accepting my self image, but that is just a part of life. The good days make the bad days worth it and I have felt so much more comfortable in my own skin and with my own personality since I began to accept who I am.

So that selfie is now my public profile picture here and on Facebook and the reason I love it so much is because in it I am happy. That is what shines through the most.

Thank you for stopping by for today’s post! I highly suggest going and getting some coffee or whatever you drink to get your day going and take a drive and enjoy your Friday. 

Until next time,
