🌷Dear teenage me

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

You are blooming.

You are skinny and tall. A good number of people are vouching for you to get into modeling.

Your body is your greatest insecurity though. Not by choice, but from all the things you’ve been told by bullies.

Somehow, all those comments get to you and you lose your sense of worth. Wild insecurities develop.

“ So hey sugar bun, I know at such a tender age you have no tools at all to help you walk yourself into the journey of self-love. This is what we are going to do though. We are going to be entirely comfortable in our skin.

I am aware that you are so timid and you can’t stand up for yourself against those bullies, but here’s what we are going to do, we aren’t going to let their mean words get to us. I know that might be hard but we are going to try.

Something else we are going to do is, we aren’t going to try and be the person we aren’t just to fit in with the cool kids . We are going to be unapologetically ourselves because that will be a clear road map to genuine self love.

Confidence hun, don’t let anyone mess with your crown you are a whole fairy. I mean you are a dream.

I have a long list of things we are supposed to do, but let me just finish with this one. We are going to allow ourselves to be in our teen era and just thrive at it. We have no business being anxious about what the future holds for us at this age, c’mon hun we’ve only been here for two minutes. So we might as well just relax and allow ourselves to be.

I want you to remember that your body isn’t an aesthetic. Your face isn’t an aesthetic either. You are entirely perfect the way you are. Bloom so hard in your pink girl era.🌷💖

My gems

Who are your favorite people to be around?

I consider myself extremely lucky.

I have a bunch of awesome people in my life.

I am not ready to start writing about my mom now. She’s my literal heart that one. See those people you sit around with in silence, and the silence still feels extremely wholesome. She is my favorite human.

But yeah I have a bunch of other awesome people in my life. I can talk to my boyfriend for days. Our conversations usually revolve around weird topics with some much depth.

I am a weirdo, so I appreciate all the weirdos, that’s my tribe. Those are my favs. 😅

Cheers.

Marshmellow

What’s your favorite candy?

🤣 I know I can be a joke at times. Seriously though, does marshmallow fall under the category of candy? Yes/No. Well I don’t know, but I know I love it. Is it my favorite though? I don’t know, it’s the only sugary thing I can stand.

I’m not a sweet tooth.

I love chili and spices.

Also my other answer should have been cotton candy. Cotton candy sends out good vibes. It is just beautiful to look at and walk around with. Cotton candy usually gives rich aunty vibes.

I know I probably sound like a joke 🤣 but I chuckled the minute I read today’s prompt.

I never thought I’d ever have to write about my favorite candy, but well this was fun.

Ps. I don’t mean marshmallow the musician. I love his songs though, but like I don’t mean he’s my favourite candy. 🤣

Cheers.

Work

What do you complain about the most?

Honestly, I am not going to go like ” ooh lately I have learnt how to practice gratitude and gone are the days I would complain….” No that doesn’t even sound anywhere close to being human.

It is true though, I have learnt how to be grateful about every little thing you know, just getting out of bed, having running water… little things like those make my world sustainable.

Genuinely though, the thing I’ve constantly been complaining about lately is my work. I have zero passion for the place I am currently working. I’ve just learnt how important it is to also pray for a good working environment while we are praying for jobs. A toxic work environment is genuinely damaging.

I can’t just pretend not to pay attention to the damages it is doing to me and with that comes a little complaining here and there..but yeah that’s just it. ❤️

I’m trying to change the situation though.

Cheers🌷

My perfect imperfection ✨

What are your biggest challenges?

I feel things deeply and I mean extremely, on one side that can be a strength and on the other side it can be a weakness. Most of my worry comes from that.

This is the greatest hurdle I’m handling. I’m slowly teaching myself how to regulate.

Radical acceptance is something I am learning to embrace. Through that I am able to maturely sit with my most uncomfortable emotions and self regulate.

All my other weaknesses actually spring from my extreme emotions. It’s basically the elephant in the room😅.

My perfect imperfection.

Self-love🌷

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

The past one year has been an eye opener. It is said time and again how crucial self love is. Until you become entirely deliberate about it, you’ll never just get to the core of it.

I got back home to myself. I have become aware of the person I am. As simple as it sounds, it hasn’t been an easy task. One thing I’ve learnt is that, growth is a very essential process yet very uncomfortable.

Through growth, I’ve learnt to be in a healthy relationship with myself. The benefits up to this point have been profound.

I am a better person..not perfect. I love how I am able to catch myself. I love how intentional I am with myself and everyone else around me.

So for me I would say, self love has had a very positive impact on me.
