Today

One day I will be perfectly content with who I am.

I will wake up each morning not afraid to look in the mirror.

I won't feel the need to paint my face with contour or highlight.

And I surely, won't grab onto the fat of my cheeks.

I will look at my reflection, with complete contentedness.

I will no longer hate my face.

I won't feel ashamed walking on the beach in a bikini.

I will wear what I wanted and not what others decide looks best.

I won't suck in my stomach until my back ached.

And I definitely will not squeeze into a small size just to avoid the plus.

I will no longer hate my body.

I won't become silent around new people.

I will talk to whom I wish to and avoid who I want.

I will no longer create fake laughs to mask my own.

I will say what I'm feeling, no longer allowing myself to be walked over.

I will no longer hate my voice. 

And most importantly, I will not allow someone to tell me what I am capable of.

I will no longer hear their criticism over my own thoughts and ideas.

I will believe in myself, even when others have given up.

I will push myself further, while others let go.

I will be there for me when no one else is seen.

Today, I am beginning my journey of self love.
