Hello There!!

     So this is kind of an odd post, but I just watched Jc Caylen's video on O2L titled "I Hate Myself". It was a very inspiring video and It has inspired this post. I will link the video below.
So I hate myself. Yes I believe everyone has something that they hate about themselves. Watching Jc talk about his insecurities and some relate to my insecurities too.
     I have a lot of things I wish I could change about myself like I have a very round face and a double chin when I smile. I have dry skin, and get red patches called eczema. My hair never stays perfect. I can't sing. I have a extremely short torso, no butt, and football player shoulders and its hard to find clothes that fit. No matter how active I am it is very hard for me to lose weight. I have a bad breathing problem that requires me to be on medication everyday. I have very pale transparent skin, and the worst of all my boobs are two different sizes.
     Whoah! Glad we got that out of the way. Honestly it feels better getting those things off my chest. Now Yes those are things I hate about myself, and I use to struggle with it a lot about how I look and what people think of me. I still do. There are still days where I just don't feel good about my self. But… It happen especially when you get a bit older that you realize you are more than your insecurities. Also most the time everyone else is so worried about their insecurities that they don't see yours. Now on the days where I don't feel the best about myself, or maybe no clothes are fitting quite right, I think about the things that I love about myself.
     I love my ability to speak to people like they are old friends. I love that I am looked up to. I love that I am considered the best listener by my friends. I love that even if I don't have the look they want I am always placed high in horse shows, because I am an actual good rider. I love that I work for things that I want. I love that I have dreams and aspirations. I love that I am able to be busy. I love my blue eys. I also love the color of my hair. I love that I can play a bit of piano. I love that I am an individual. I love that I am blessed with a great family and supportive friends. I love that I can not see someone for years and we talk as if we see each everyday. Most of all I love that I am the one and only version of me.

It has taken me years to learn this. To learn that there is only one of me, and I am the only one who can create my own image. So think about this, there is only one and will only ever be one version of you, and that is you.

Hope this makes you feel better when you are feeling insecure.

Love,

Bailey xx
