It's a funny thing, learning to love yourself.
It's not something that happens overnight, or even in one day. It is a process that takes time and patience—and sometimes, it can be frustrating and challenging.
But if you keep at it, it will make all the difference in your life.
I recently learned this as I've been working on my self-esteem and body image. I've been trying to see myself as beautiful, but not in the way that society tells us we should be beautiful—with makeup and filters! Instead, I've been looking for ways to celebrate my true self: the person who is kind and funny and loving—not just the person who looks good in selfies.
This journey has been eye-opening for me; it has revealed a type of freedom money can't buy and opened up a world of possibilities that I never knew existed before now. And while there are still days when I struggle with these issues (no matter how much progress we make), they are getting easier with each passing day because they're no longer things holding me back from living my best life possible.
