I had  been feeling down on myself lately. REALLY down.  But I am finally feeling better after talking to someone about how I was feeling and I realized that I am ok- maybe not perfect, but no where near as bad as other people made me feel.  Someone shared a song with my Mom yesterday and told her to make sure I listened to it- so I did, and then I decided to write this on Facebook:

If you have ever felt bad about yourself, insecure, like you are not good enough, like this status.

In 20 minutes it got 65 likes.  65 LIKES.

Here’s a few of the comments that were left.

A:  Too many times :/

ME:  well, trust me, you’re not alone.

A: I know. Too many of us deal with the same problem. We feel alone, yet we are not… In a way…

F: That’s way too many likes to be good.

Me:  Exactly. But see none of us are alone.

I realized that is part of the way I was feeling- alone with the stuff I was dealing with, and I totally was not.  It wasn’t easy going to someone and saying; Hey- I need to talk to you- I’m feeling sad and bad about myself and I need to talk about it.  But I did feel better after saying it and getting it all out there.   Not 100% better, not even 60% better at first, but  I was able to feel better rather than worse.

So what should you do when you are feeling that way?  Talk to someone- find someone, anyone to talk to.  Pray. I’m not super religious or anything, but one this is for sure: He is always listening. (just remember He may answer right away, or give you the answer you want)  Find ONE thing, ONE THING that you can like or enjoy- it can be something small, but just hold on to find the joy in one thing again. Try to stay away from the negative things  and people that are bringing you down. It can be really hard when they are your “friends” but if they are really your friends, they should want to bring you up, not tear you down. Saying ” just kidding” or “no offense” isn’t ok.

Love one thing about yourself.  Even if it’s how cute your little toe is, or how you dog loves to snuggle with you at night or you can always make your brother laugh, . there is something loveable about every single one of us. Find yours and LOVE IT.

And listen to the song, watch this video and remember this.

Pretty, pretty please

Don’t you ever, ever feel

Like your less than PERFECT!

Hey- I want to make a little video- so if you have ever felt bad about your self- less than perfect- I want to put together a video of people with a cool song.  If you want to be a part of it, send me a pic of you at losergurl13@rocektmail.com.   Make sure you ask your parents first (my mom said I had to say that). Nothing mean, or dirty, just a pic of you saying how you feel about yourself. Remember, you’re beautiful!
