My name is Emma and this is my safe space. Please feel free to use it as yours as well.
tell yourself you’re hot. tell yourself you’re amazing. tell yourself you’re untouchably, radiantly attractive. do it every day, even if it feels like you’re lying to yourself. insist to the mirror that you’re the cutest thing its ever reflected. if you do it enough eventually it wont feel like lying anymore, it’ll be automatic, and you’ll recognize yourself as the incredible babe you really are.
Don’t worry about your body.
It isn’t as small as it once was,
But honestly, the world needs more of you.
You look in the mirror
like you’ve done something wrong,
But you look perfect.
Anyone who says otherwise is telling a lie
to make you feel weak.
And you know better.
You’ve survived every single day,
for as long as you’ve been alive.
You could spit fire if you wanted.
Do not confuse having less with being less, having more with being more, or what you have with who you are. Be yourself, love yourself and accept yourself. When you love yourself, you will learn that your self worth does not revolve around another person but rather is enhanced by the other person. So today let’s fall in love with the person in the mirror, the one you see everyday but seldom truly look at, the one who gives more than they ever take. Today let’s take nothing, not this day, not this moment, not this chance, not even ourselves, for granted. Let’s first love who we are.
the first step towards confidence is not being afraid to be ugly
once you get over the fear of being unattractive and stop equating beauty with other good things in life (friends, love, happiness) it’s a lot easier to love yourself unconditionally
your job is not to sit around and be pretty and easy on everyone else’s eyes
your job is to do whatever the fuck you want and look however the fuck you want while doing it
shout out to the girls that hate their bodies but are trying really really hard to find the beauty and comfort in them because that shit is hard and takes a lot of time and is emotionally exhausting. i’m proud of y’all.
I hope in 2016 everybody will undertand that:
-being gay isn’t a choice
-racism is pointless
-rape isn’t funny
-sexism is fucking supid
-colours have no gender
-virginity is a social construct
-beauty has no skin tone
-muslims are not ISIS
-you don’t need to give money for churches to have a good relation with God
She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells.
You taught me that there is such a thing as unconditional love; when you found a way to love me, in the condition I was in.
