I was thinking about the good things I like about myself and I could barely come up with Ten things I like but when I started going down the bunny hole of all the bad things about myself, that list outweighed everything.
Is it just me or is that all of us? Do our negatives outweigh the positive?
Do we ever look on the positive? Do we only have that limited qualities we love about ourself? Why?
We should have more than a Hundred reasons as to why we love ourselves. Perhaps, we should see ourself in the eyes of people who love us. I guess we will know our worth but why do we need someone to see what we love about ourself. We should know our self worth and why we love ourselves.
It is just that there are different perceptions of beauty and what it means to be beautiful and it is all very confusing.
Some of the people stick to the traidional norm of beauty which I find silly. Beauty comes in all shapes and form and if you want to change something about yourself, you should do it to make you happy not just because someone is pressuring you to change.
Be you and be proud of it! Own it!
This is going to be a series where every month, I write something I love about myself. This is not boasting but self love that we all need to do every day and not just once a month.
I want to focus on the physical beauty as well as the inner shine in me! I am going to alternate between physical and inside beauty.
Eventually I will be running out of body parts to list, so I will have to stick to other aspects I like about myself. It is going to be quite a challenge to write out what I like about myself. It seems like a passage of self discovery.
Sometimes all it takes for us to come crashing down is one moment of self doubt, comment or anything and we forget everything that is good about us. So, when I feel low or insecure, I can go back to these letters and remind myself why I should love me!
I want all of you to do this as well! Love yourself every day!
When it comes to physical beauty, I blank out. I literally do not know what I find beautiful about me. My mom says I am beautiful but she is my mom. That is her job. She loves me, so she says it and so does my dad and my grandparents. I just do not see it.
Today, I am going to try and figure out one physical aspect I love about myself.
This is hard. It shouldn’t be this hard.
Dear Roshni,
This is Roshni writing to Roshni!
The first thing that came to my mind is that I love our eyebrows. They are thick and just suit our face!
It makes me feel confident, beautiful and cute! My mom says I got her sister’s eyebrows and I am glad! She was a very beautiful person inside and out. God bless her soul!
My eyebrows help me express a lot of emotions. I can be sarcastic, mean, confused, bubbly. You name it and I can try and do it.
My eyebrows make me feel amazing! When I go and get my eyebrows done, it makes me feel so confident that I can take on the whole world.
It feels weird not writing a very long passage as to why I love my eyebrows. Usually, I find myself ranting on and on but this feels short and precise. I think sometimes that is just it.
It feels right ending it now.
