I used to always look for someone else to tell me I was good enough, smart enough, pretty enough.
No matter how many compliments I got, I still felt like crap.
I realized that I was chasing a mirage, a false sense of happiness that depended on other people’s opinions.
I decided to change and to love myself, flaws and all.
I found a new level of peace and joy within myself, a happiness that no one could take away from me.
Now, I’m proud of who I am, and I don’t need anyone else to validate me.
Self-love is the most powerful thing in the world.
