The whole body-concious, low self-esteem issue really affects everyone at some point in their life. If you’re someone who is saying “Ha! Not me.” right now…then your day of awakening may just be on its way.

You see, I never thought I was anything exceptionally “pleasing to the eye.” I was very self-concious about everything: my teeth, my skin, my weight, etc.
I struggled with a low self-esteem privately, so it was always a struggle to stay out of the “Ugh, if I could just lose this and change that” conversations between groups of friends.
I always thought, “Gee, if that’s how she feels about her appearance, I can’t imagine what I’m like.”
But you know what? It’s easy to realize that someone out there is always going to be ‘prettier’ just because that’s how nearly everyone thinks.
But the person you think is gorgeous thinks the girl next to her is beautiful while she thinks you are flawless.
It’s a continuous cycle that, over time, I’ve decided to just accept.

Everyone is beautiful in their own way; help them realize it.
Sometimes all they need to be able to acknowledge it, is to be told once more.
Trust me.
