We hate our bodies. We hate our faces. We hate our lives. Hate, hate, hate, hate. Our self-confidence went on vacation because it got tired of our negativity. We always look at our reflections in the mirror and zero in on whatever "flaw" we have and super-size it. And when it all comes down to it, there's nothing wrong with us at all. N-o-t-h-i-n-g.
I use to hate my shoulders so much. I use to think they were too freakin' huge and made me look like a man. When really they weren't that bad. I hated my forehead because I thought it attracted too many stares when really no one was staring at my forehead. Then I felt I was too fat. And that I'd die as a pig. WHEN REALLY... I had the weight of an average female teen.
I also use to really lose it when no one sat by me on the bus last year. I sat alone in the mornings. 'Is something wrong with me? What's wrong? I'm such a freak! No one sits by me because I'm so out of it! I deserve to be alone!' is what I use to think.
But now I think, 'So what if no one's sitting by me. There's more room this way. And I don't have any friends that get on my morning bus, either. That's why I sit alone so much. There's no reason why I should put myself down.'
It's all in your head. You're not ugly, fat, stupid... You're not. So stop tearing yourself down when there's nothing wrong with you. Stop destroying yourself when you have so much going for you.
Instead of looking at what you think are your bad qualities, try taking a look at your good qualities. I started doing this. It seemed stupid and a waste of time at first. But as days went by, I started seeing myself for who I was. I wasn't ugly. I wasn't fat. I was me.
After 5 years of hating myself for being imperfect, I began to love myself for once. This is who I am. And no one's perfect. Not one person.
Congratulations to all the people that had a breakthrough like I did.
Strength to the people that are still struggling.
Seriously,
Wicked
