Accept yourself for Who You Are

Hey everyone!!!
We're going to officially enter a new year in a few days (two, to be exact) and I decided to end this year with a post.
Now as the title might or might not inform, this post is all about acceptance.

We all can start by simply stating the obvious.

One. You and I are not like super models nor do we have as much brains to become the next Super Whiz Kid. Yay, joy.

Two. We crave some sort of company that glorifies our achievements.
"Hey, nice game!"
"How are you soooo smart? I wish I could get so much marks in my tests!"

Three. We are essentially sort of insecure, even if we try to forget it all and be our own wonderful selves.
"I am wearing this dress no matter what anyone thinks or whispers."
"Hey does this dress look OK?"

Four. We can be selfish sometimes.
"Hey! That was the last chocolate and it was MINE!"
"I wanted to do that part..."

Five. We see every single flaw in our appearance when we stand in front of the mirror.
"Why are my eyes sooooo small!!"
"I think the colour red is NOT for me."

Six. We hate it when people talk about our negative qualities.
This includes me and I guess all you readers too.
I promise this is the last one.

SO, now that we've laid the basis that all of us aren't the perfect angels others might want us to be, let's start with another round of state the obvious.

One. We are beautiful and smart just the way we are. [Yeah, right!]

Two. Even though we want company that glorifies us, we like the company that tells us we're wrong, the best. Because, in the end, they're the ones who help the most. [Oh, really? Right now I want to kill the person who told me I wasn't good enough.]

Three. Even if we may get insecure sometimes, we are definitely strong enough to let go and move on with life as if all that fight against insecurity was easy- peasy. [Give me one second. I'm fighting my "easy- peasy" insecurity.]

Four. Hey, it's ok to be selfish. We are selfless quite a lot too. A person needs balance. [I'm about to fall off because of having no "balance"]

Five. Even if we see all our flaws in the mirror, we see all our good features too. [Mirror, Mirror on the wall. Who is the Fairest of them all? Me? Yeah, right.]

Six. Even if we hate people talking about our negative qualities, we use it to somehow improve ourselves in the public eye. [My negative qualities, you say? My right arm needs some punching practice.]

So, I know that my side comments make my actual comments seem false and stupid.
The thing is, those are the things I would think if I read all those.
And then, I would be wondering what I did wrong.

What I did/you did/you are doing wrong is, you aren't thinking as high of yourself as you should.
You should learn that while we may have our flaws, our highs and lows, our mood swings, our sadness and happiness and feelings in general, we are definitely US.
Each one of us is unique in whatever crazy way there may be.

We could sing horribly, yet sing in our shower every day.
We could dance horribly, yet dance around wherever we go, whenever we want.
We could be horrible at a subject, yet try to learn it in the hope that one day it will make sense.
We could paint horribly yet own artbooks and paints and paint away.

We can be anything and do anything because all those little quirks are what define us.

It's OK if you can't do something that everyone else can.
It's OK if you aren't perfect.
It's OK if you don't perform well in that one test.
It's OK if you hate something/someone everyone else seems to love.

It's OK if you have weird choices.

People judge you because they are so jobless.
Don't let their judgments change you from being you.

You like to do something, then DO it.
Don't worry about what people will say.
If they respect you enough, they will tell you if it's dangerous for you. Otherwise, they'll respect your decisions and act as your support till the end.

The thing is, you need to accept who you are.

Self- Acceptance is KEY.
It makes you feel worthy and makes you feel on top of the world.

Love yourself. From every single flaw your enemies notice to every single good thing your friends notice. 

Have a great year ahead!
More like, have a great LIFE ahead!!

Till next time, friends.
