“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance- Oscar Wilde”
There was a time when I rarely valued myself, had a hell lot of insecurities, was stuck in some worse relationships, didn’t like to see myself in mirror and was way too dependent on others for my happiness.
Today?
I like myself a lot, depend less on others, hardly under-estimate myself, go for outings alone a lot of times, like to pamper myself and I easily go out today with my bare blemished face outside!
I’m also taken as quite self-obsessed and rude at times (especially because I have a straight face naturally! :P) because of praising myself at times, but then again.. It doesn’t matters! People are anyway going to pull you down and therefore it’s better to walk with your head held up high anytime!
Β I made this little video. It know it’s not so good quality, but I made it because I wanted to >
As much I hate to say this, I owe these good changes a lot to the bitter things in my life and I’m so thankful to God for not letting bitter things make me bitter in life!
Β Happiness doesn’t start with your relationships or your friends. It starts with YOU. Of course, I’m not saying that I don’t need anyone in my life. I have some beautiful friends who have not just seen my best but have also handled me at my worst. And, are only helping me in pursuing my dreams!
But don’t limit your happiness to your relationships. Alone doesn’t always means lonely and relationships don’t always means happiness.Β
So, people, let your light shine through because the earlier you start to love yourself, the better!

Beautiful post. You gotta love and take care of your own-self because nobody else will. People will talk no matter and you cannot shut them but one thing you can definitely do is Ignore and carry on.

your post is incredible as it speaks to a lot of us out there. When I was in college, I depended on no one. Used to go out all on my own. Was extremely happy. I know what you mean.
Sadly, I have changed and allowed people's opinions to matter to me and pull me down, not in a good space right now.
Your post is a very good reminder to me.
Have to get back to being me.
Wonderful video π

Even I am thankful to god for the bitter events and people who used to take advantage of my politeness and helpful nature but those experiences were actually lessons, I learnt to live the rest of my life calmly and peacefully!
