Flaws & All, Love Yourself!

Hello My Confident Dolls, It's been awhile since I've written a blog. I took some time off so I can focus on my final papers and exams in school but it is all over now and daily blogs will be updated weekly. I hope everything has been good on your side and if not I hope you're holding on to your faith because things will get better. 

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of post of girls wanting to get plastic surgery to look their best. Why is that? Is getting a bigger butt, bigger breast, a flatter stomach make you beautiful? Is going through surgery worth it? Why can't you just accept who you are and love every part of you? Don't get me wrong, we all have flaws and none of us are perfect. But one thing that I am doing each and everyday is loving myself more than I love my flaws. My flaws doesn't define who I am and I am not less of a person because of my flaws. 


I've said it before, my stomach is not something I feel at times makes me beautiful but Iam not going to go to drastic measures to get rid of it such as getting plastic surgery. My stomach is part of me and I love who I am. I will never hate myself to the point I will hurt myself just so I can look absolutely beautiful. Your flaws doesn't deny your beauty or your worth. You have to love your flaws just as much as you love yourself. 


If you focus on your flaws you will think negatively about yourself and than you will want to get things done to yourself just so you can feel beautiful. How about doing it in a way that is safe and at the end of it all you will see the results you want? Iam talking about exercising and eating right, that is a way in which you won't put yourself in harm and in the midst of it all work on yourself to become a better version of yourself. 


When you look at yourself, don't forget God made you. YOU ARE ENOUGH! I know some of you love to wear makeup, wear extensions etc but at the end of the day wearing those things doesn't show your real beauty. Society plays a big role in why we don't feel beautiful being our authentic self because they portray someone that is beautiful being a certain size and looking a certain way. 


Society screams "Be Superficial", but never tell us to be original and to be ourselves. I had to learn for many years there was nothing wrong with loving who I was and being the person that I wanted to be. Society is truly the reason why I pretended to be someone else just so I can satisfy others for many years.  My Confident Dolls, pretending to be someone else will not make you happy, it will only hurt you in the process of it all. 


Yes we all have flaws but I want you to love yourself with having those flaws. Regardless of having any flaws you are still beautiful, I want you to believe that you are. It took awhile for me to believe it but I knew I wanted to be happy and not pretend to be someone else anymore. As I said before, my stomach isn't going to make me hate myself. 


Last week when I was in Florida, as I was getting dressed. I took a few minutes to stare at my body and take time to truly admire my body. Of course looking at my stomach made me think I wasn't beautiful for a second but then I took my phone out and took some pictures. I looked in the mirror and I was snapping pictures, I told myself "I Love You" over a dozen times. Iam not going to let my stomach stop me from loving who I am as well as being who I am. 



Yes it is my flaw but I am still beautiful, I am strong, I am powerful, I am a Queen and I will not allow society or anyone made me think differently or negatively about myself ANYMORE. Yes I have a big stomach, I won't say I will have one forever because I know I am going to make the changes that I need to do which I am doing now to become much more healthier but I will never stop loving who I am because of my flaws. 

My Confident Dolls, I just want you to know that you are beautiful, you are worth it and you do matter. Don't let anyone tell you different, don't harm yourself just so you can feel beautiful. I know they say when you want change, you must do what is necessary to make that change. When it comes to your body and yourself, don't put it through harm. Your body is a temple, love it, cherish it, appreciate it, just the way it is. 


   A Confident Love From Me To You.
