One of the most valuable things I would teach my daughter if I had one would be to love herself. To love every single bit of her self to love her uniqueness to love what sets her apart from the rest. To embrace the features given to her by God in such a way that her souls beauty matches her outer beauty. In a generation where everything is artificial our food, media and people authenticity is what we should hold onto so dearly. We are so busy trying to be like everyone else, trying to be accepted we waste a lifetime being someone we are not and completely disregarding our souls true identity. It is easier said than done to be confident because we all have our insecurities and can be uncomfortable with our image.Learning to love yourself and your flaws will be the best thing you will ever do. Thinking about the fact that this is my body for this life time there is nothing I can do but embrace it and love it for what it is. I am all for empowering women to do what ever makes them feel confident and beautiful however sometimes I feel like greedy minded people take advantage of the insecurities of women and capitalize off of it. For example weight loss supplements which promote a unhealthy way of coping with being over weight, women are constantly being judged by how they look and how they act. I am a feminist and I really can care less what a person thinks about my appearance because I know I bring so much more than looks to the table. I am not interested in a pretty face I am interested in a pretty mind. Those are hard to come by especially in a generation where self respect is rare and people have replaced love with lust and affection for attention. It saddens me because we all have potential to love and become the best versions of ourselves. However when dark feelings of greed and envy come into play we stomp our own growth by comparing and wishing for another’s success. If the grass looks greener on the other side mend you garden don’t chase the butterfly let it come to you. I want you guys to feel inspired to pursue your hearts truest desires and not let anyone or anything get in the way of who you were destined to be. Remain kind, humble and always be true to yourself. You can’t fake the vibe and energy never lies.
