Fallen in Love!

Hey guys, I've got some really great news I'd love to share with you today... Well, I'm officially in love, with me and I'd love to share the story of how I fell in love with myself.
So,I started to fall in love with myself when I realized there could be only one me and so,I am the most beautiful version of me. I fell in love when I stopped seeking approval or public opinion about what I looked like or what I could be like and I fell head over heels when I realized that I could be who I wanted as long as I worked towards it and that my opinion about myself is the only opinion that really counts. Sincerely, it wasn't easy, it took me so much time to come around and come to terms with the fact that this girl is the only copy of herself on planet earth and in the entire universe. For years i was so conscious about being beautiful that it made me not beautiful, I'd worry so much that the first thing I thought of every morning was whether I looked okay to face the world. Sometimes, I'd even dread going to school just because I felt my eyes looked to heavy or my lips were too full or that my body shape wasn't perfect, but then, who has it all? No matter what you look like, no matter how beautiful a person is, trust me, people would still look for a fault.
True story:I was with someone sometime and a girl walked past us and I was blown away by how beautiful she was that I didn't know when I said it out loud, but, the person beside me said "yes, she's pretty, but her hairline is receding and her ears don't match her head".Trust me, I've never been more surprised.
Anyways, I think we should listen only to what we have to say about ourselves and not what the public says. That's where confidence starts from. We should also learn to appreciate people no matter what and never forget to spread the word of beauty and love.
I have fallen in love with myself, I hope you do same to you. Here is a piece I wrote, I hope it inspires you.

This is me

Step aside! 
I want to walk the runway.
I want to smile, be seen and be the centre of attraction all day, 
I'm no longer hiding my light away. 

Hold your tongue!
I'll pass your comment.
I'll pass your thoughts,your words and torment.
This time, its my moment. 

Be gone!
Its time you left me
To be all i want to and should be
Your words don't haunt me anymore..
Your laughs can't taunt my healing sore.. 
I'll smile today and not stop
I'll keep working till I get to the top. 
I'm now my Muse.. 
I'll remain in the news. 

I've fallen in love with me, 
Beauty is all these eyes can see.

Beauty and Perception.

One question that has always been on my mind is "what is beauty?" The word "beauty",its meaning and standards, to me, seems and feels more like a perception. It is what an individual perceives it to be. I may think beauty to be about a person's facial features and body shape while another person thinks it to be either of the two or individual qualities and characters. In all,we all have our definitions and standards by which we classify and judge beauty. I'd give an example of colours ,I love dark colours, But I've met people who detest dark colours but love anything bright and attractive. That established, back to beauty, many times without number,I've met people and thought them exceptionally beautiful but then,someone else sees the exact same people and says "she's not all that, but she's cute". I may love someone's nose or eyes,while another person doesn't fancy what I see..now,that's total perception; I'm speak...

Implications of Low self Esteem.

Sometime ago,I mentioned how I was so not confident in myself and had great low self esteem and how I couldn't speak in public because I felt so ugly all the time and did not want to hear it anymore.This had me in my seat all the time.Well,I'd tell you this was not good for me at all as I lost so much which I'm still in the process of regaining. I'd like to share with you what happened sometime ago.Due to my struggle with self esteem, I never spoke in class.I'd sneak in and out of class and prayed everyday not to be noticed. Questions would be asked in class, I'd know the answers to the fullest even with analogies,but I'd prefer to keep quiet. I lost so many marks to this,especially in my first and second years in the higher institution,but it did not bother me since I thought I wasnt hurting anybody,little did I know I was hurting myself. One day in school,we were asked to collect some documents from a lecturer and so,we went in one after another.Well,it g...

I Am Enough: What Comparison does to you.

Something every young person should know is; "I am enough and I carry novelty".. Like I've always said,your opinion about what you look like or could be like is the most important opinion about you. Whatever you think and say about yourself most likely determines what and who you become. That is why it is a great error to compare yourself with other people. The act of comparison has painfully and unfortunately, put many people in positions where they shouldn't be,obviously, bad positions because as you begin to compare yourself with others,you start to walk away from who you are supposed to be and start your journey in the wrong direction,towards becoming someone else. Thereby, dimming or completely putting out the light which is supposed to shine on the real you. The problem of succumbing to comparison is that in most cases, you get to be just the photocopy of who you have spent years trying to be like. No matter how you try to put it, there is and would always b...
