Say something nice about yourself!

Think we are missing a self love thread.  self love is definetly important and think we can all soemtimes be too harsh on ourselves so wanted a place where we can be kinder to ourselves. 

Say something nice about yourself - From all the qualities you have or saying something about your appearance.. ect <3 all deserve to love yourself😊



So I’ll start by just saying - even though half the time I don’t feel like it - id say I’m pretty strong to go through all the struggles I have done/am going through. (something I can say to everyone reading this too) 



“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Well... I like my eyebrows and eyelashes - they're full and admittedly pretty great so I don't need any mascara or eyebrow pencils lol xD

    Brilliant thread! 

    I'm proud of who I have become as I've grown up. I've made some awful choices and been through a lot but just as you said, @Shaunie, I'm proud of my strength to keep going :smile:

    I must have a lot of patience to work in retail. Even the thought of walking through it when not working stresses me out

    I agree with you two. I don't like complimenting myself. Lol.

    Uh... I'm a fairly good piano player. And I get told positive stuff about me often so maybe it's true (probs not).

    Absolutely love this thread idea. :) 

    I'm a calm and considered person and, although I always forget, I've worked hard and taken a lot of risks to be in the position I am today.

    I might not have loads of room for other people in my life a lot of the time, but I've done well to create a life for myself that is comfortable and sustainable.

    I am a funny person when it comes to my art. Yesterday in art we were drawing stuffed animals. I drew a parrot that I named Dereck (the photos in the spoiler will explain because it could be triggering.) The pictures are all from different pages in my art book. Oh and the writing is not in pen (it is in darkish pencil.)

    Spoiler

    Supposed to be in order of before plastic surgery, after plastic surgery (massive fail) and then after weight loss and 2nd plastic surgery operation  (not too rubbish.)

    I'm a lot less self-conscious and generally anxious than I used to be.

    I’ve been learning to stand up for myself more and not let people take advantage of my kindness too much
