Have you ever stopped loving yourself?
“I lost myself when I was in a relationship 2 years ago. Both of us had people in our families that had passed away. After that we started fighting more and insecurities came in. You put them first and you don’t do the things that you want to do. When you’re young, you want to be able to be selfish and love yourself and give time to yourself. I was losing myself with him and I wasn’t doing much. That’s what happened when I quit my business, it was because I stopped loving myself. We were in love at the right time and the right place, however in time people grow apart. Your break up process shouldn’t be angry. I took that leap and I left him. That’s why I dip my fingers in every single thing that I’m doing because I want to find myself. So far, something that is actually making me happy is the beauty industry. I’ve been loving the positive vibes. This is what helped me start loving myself again. Im doing the things I want and no one can stop me. If I could, I would do it day and night.”
“ I did mostly everything that I had for my New Years resolutions that year. I accomplished 10 things, out of all the things I wrote down. I started youtube, instagram beauty, I’ve always wanted to do it. it gets me going. If you have a mind where you can connect all the things you see in life and you create it into a video it’s amazing. I would be listening to a song on the radio and think, ‘This would be great for my video!’. As soon as I have a thought, I write it down and create it. The process of sharing it with people and people hyping you up is amazing. People actually watch, and I’m like ‘Oh okay’. Even if I’m just small, I love it still. People have told me to do it more consistently, to get products, be more famous, talk to more people. But if it goes that way, then it goes that way. But I’m using this as my outlet.”
“When you’re in your early 20s don’t commit to buying a brand new car or house. Live at home, travel, and get to know yourself. I would suggest that. Back in the day, I wish I didn’t get a car right away. I could have just gotten cheap car, just to get by. I wish I travelled more, now that I’m not with my ex. I’m just travelling more. I’ve always had this dream of becoming a dentist so I’m in school. It took awhile. People would ask me, ‘Oh why are you going back?’, they didn’t have faith. He played it safe but I’m risky, I like to do whatever. I take jumps, if I’m not happy I’m gonna quit. Why continue it? I want to be able to do beauty, but go with my dream at the same time.”
“I’m taking 4 months off to see if I can grow more in the beauty industry. I want to do all these other things but you have to work, things aren’t free. Some people say ‘Self love isn’t just taking a bath with a bath bomb and putting a face mask on.’ But it is, it’s relaxing and you’re doing things for yourself. It’s part of the mental process. That’s what I think of self love, it’s taking care of yourself. Don’t’ care about what people have, and don’t let people stop you from achieving your dream. Just do all the things that you want to do and take the leap. Nothing is stopping you but yourself. If your’e scared, thats fine. If it’s gonna get you to where you wanna go and what you want to do, then do it. Take time for yourself, be selfish in your 20’s, it’s okay to be selfish, but to an extent. Spend money on yourself, eat whatever you want and feel comfortable in the body you’re in. Don’t think you’re not good enough for someone else. There’s gonna be someone out there that will love you for you as well. It’ll take time, don’t search for it. If it happens, it happens.”
