If you had only 24 hours to live...
What would you do? What would you say?
Now go ahead and live!

Hey beautiful... Yes you, reading this right now!
When you're finished reading this letter I want you to do 2 things for me, 1st I want you to go to a mirror and look at yourself, REALLY look and I want you to say the first thing you think of ANYTHING that comes to mind, say it to yourself. Now 2nd I want you to stop putting yourself down and I want you to reverse what you just said, if you said "I hate my eyes" tell yourself "I love my eyes" or if you called yourself "Fat" I want you to say "I am beautiful the way I am" reverse whatever it was you just said okay? Got it? Now, I want you to come up with 5 things about yourself you like. It can be about the thing you picked out or it can be 5 completely separate things. I want you to tell yourself, look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself in the mirror out loud and if you have to say it 2 or 3 times even more. I don't care if you laugh because you feel silly, if you laugh then you smile and if you smile you might just believe what you are saying is true and you should, Because it is! I know how hard it is to feel beautiful, believe me I do. But you are exactly where you are meant to be in your life, you look how you should and you are the way you are because EVERYHING had a reason and nothing in this world is perfect. I know you may want to be skinner, perhaps thinner legs, flatter tummy, straighter nose, longer hair, bigger eyes, fuller lips, larger breast or bigger butt. But if we change one thing we have to change it all, because no matter how much we try change what we look like we cant change our mind and we will only continue to want to change things until we are unrecognisable! You should never EVER allow someone to make you feel worthless, ugly or insignificant... Because you are NOT! The wisest words I've ever heard! Coming from the amazing and beautiful soul that is Taylor swift... "We all come from different places, maybe we all have different accents, we have different hobbies and different backgrounds... No two people are the same. Its difficult to feel ok about yourself, every single day we go online and we scroll through the highlight reel of other peoples awesome lives. But we don't see the highlight reel of our awesome lives, all we see is the behind the scenes of our lives, we see every single moment from when we wake up and we're like "oh god not feeling my hair today, it's not gunna be a good day today for the hair", we see our doubts, our fears and our concerns. You're the only one inside your own brains feeling our own anxieties and voices that are telling you, you cant be who you wanna be or you're not who you wanna be or you wanna be like that person over there. Let me tell you, people are mean to each other but no voices are as mean as our own voices are to ourselves. Everyday when you look in the mirror and your mind is telling yourself all the things you are NOT, like you are "You're not cool enough" "You're not pretty enough" "You're not popular enough" "You're not successful enough" "You're not special" " You're not wanted" "You're not unique" those are NOT the things you are NOT!!!! Let me tell you the things you are not... You are NOT somebody else's opinion of you that's what you're not, you are NOT going nowhere just because you are not where you want to be YET! You are NOT damaged goods because you have made mistakes in your life. Those are the things you are NOT! Now let me tell you what you ARE... You ARE your own definition of beautiful and worthwhile and no one else's definition, you ARE wiser, stronger and smarter because you made mistakes in your life not damaged and lastly you ARE someone who is standing there going through your own battles, fighting your own ghosts, trying to cover your own scars, stressing about your own stresses, But instead of wallowing in them you got up... I've realised Its not about being perfect or feeling perfect, its just about getting on with things and after a while you look around and realise you're happy TODAY and that's all that matters! I want you to know one thing i have learnt and I'm still learning is that if you get rained on, you walk through a bunch of storms and life is constantly coming at you, it doesn't make you damaged it makes you clean!" DO NOT GIVE UP, YOU ARE A FIGHTER AND YOU ARE STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL... Don't EVER forget that! Love, the girl that's staring back at you xoxo
