Today I wanted to talk about loving yourself first. And Gaining more friends if you feel like you don't have any, or enough, and then a little about relationships.
I'm going to start off with loving yourself first because, as the quote above says, everything else will fall into place. When I say love yourself, I don't mean that you need to 100% love every atom in your body. That can be pretty hard to do! What I mean by that is just to accept yourself. Of course this isn't an easy task.. but it is something that needs to be worked on on a day to day basis. There can be parts of you, mentally and physically that you want to change.. but just with starting to accept those parts, because they are you.They make you the person that you are today, you beautiful human being. Like I said, it takes work, and a hell of a lot at that. But just start with waking up every morning and just taking a second to breathe and be okay with who you are, because believe me you are absolutely not as bad as you think you are. Once you get into the rythm of that, it will all just flow naturally and you will attract more friends and partners!
I'm going to go into just a short version of these next two topics because I will write more in depth on them later! Please do not feel like you have no friends, or not enough friends! Ever! Truth is, I felt like this for such a long time through my life, and when I sit back and think on it now, I had so, so many friends! I just ended up pushing them away, even though I didn't mean to. Friendship takes work, as does everything else in life, and that work needs to come from both ends! You can text your friend first, or be the one who offers to do things.. it's not a big deal if you do, and it's definitely not a big deal if they say no! Don't in any way feel rejected! They might just be busy! Just try and try again, unfortunately unless you're just a very special person, there aren't very many people who will take the extra effort to stay in touch with you.. but as long as you make some effort and they make some effort, an amazing bond will form! The same kind of goes for relationships.
If you're at that age where you're just starting to date, or are in high school and have not been in a relationship yet, don't fret! You know when I got my first serious boyfriend? 17 years old.. yes I had some boyfriends here and there but it wasn't anything... that you would really call a relationship. Do you know why I got my first serious boyfriend when I did? Because it was at the exact time where I loved my life, and myself and just everything happening at the time. I actually just came out of an amazing relationship that had a horrible break up.. and I didn't want to be broken by that. So I promised myself I would take time to myself.. be by myself and love myself, because I kept hearing and seeing the quote "How can you expect anybody else to love you if you don't love yourself first." So I worked on that.. and lo and behold the love of my life walked into my life! It's an amazing thing how strong the energy that you put into the world is.. and this is me, a real life person telling you that if you just stay positive and work on yourself and be happy...good things WILL happen.. I'm almost 22 years old and I'm just starting to live life.. and that's okay. Some days I feel like it's not okay, some days I feel like I''m running behind so much and I should have my own house with three cars and three kids and my husband and an amazing career.. but.. I'm only 22 years old.. I have so much time for that.. and I want to live my life the way I have always wanted to live. .and I'm beginning to do exactly that. I encourage all of you to try that too.. don't just talk about it! DO IT! I'll be right here by your side.. and I hope you are by mine as I take the rest of this journey called life.. I can't wait to share it with you all!
Hope you have a great rest of the day! It is almost the weekend!!
