That’s what these words are about: to show you that.

This guide is for anyone who wants to learn how to draw people.

You are beautiful and your imperfections have built me.

Confidence is the sexiest thing anyone can wear.

Even if my friends give me words of assurance, those wandering eyes of everyone else at the pool don’t help.

You’re in love with someone who wants so badly to be intimate with you, and yet you struggle in allowing yourself to open up because you feel insecure.

The strength to love your mess, even when you feel unworthy.

I hope you fill yourself with light, become light, create light. I hope you love yourself with such passion and fierceness, the people around you have no choice but to match.

It’s fighting to see yourself as worthy, even when you’re constantly told that you’re not good enough. It’s fighting to appreciate who you’ve become, while still making goals to reach towards.

The point of this isn’t to tell you that self-love is this made up, unobtainable fairytale that you should give up on. No, the point is, is that I don’t want you to look at my Instagram page on a day when you’re struggling and beat yourself up because it seems like my journey is all sunshine and roses.
