I was going throught all of my old phones tonight and came across a bunch of photos and videos I never uploaded. It honestly hurt seeing 14 year old me so insecure and not loving herself. I am here to tell you, you are beatiful. Not everyone is going to think it, but you are you. There is no other you. You were made and created in your own special way. I wish I could of told my younger self this. 14 year old me hated herself. She would try and follow makeup tutorials off of YouTube trying to feel prettier, style her hair different ways to feel prettier, dress a certain way to try and feel prettie but nothing worked. My smile in every single one of my pictures back then was so fake, I was hardly ever actually smiling. I was in such a dark place at that time and no one even knew but me. I am here to tel you though it does get better. For all the young ones on here that are either in middle or high school please understand life gets better, learn to love yourself and be confident in the person you are. I am now 23 and fully starting to love myself more and more. I am not where I want to be but I am definitely not where I used to be.
