Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life. I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little. The process is the hardest part but I'm glad I have the courage to start doing it.
I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY TALKING ABOUT MYSELF.
Looking back, that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped doing what I love. I stopped dreaming. I tried to jam myself into moulds that other people made. Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others. No one called
out my name, and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts.
HOW TO START LOVING YOURSELF?
As for me I love music. Any genres. I stumbled upon this Korean boyband, BTS, which consists of 7 beautiful, talented, and funny boys. Their songs aren't just any songs you hear because they make sure that they can talk to their listeners in all ages specifically to the young generations globally that struggle loving themselves and following what the society and the world want them to be. They send their love and message through the lyrics. This is how everything starts. Seems shallow right? But yeah we have our own story to tell.
As for you. Just do it! Don't listen to what others are telling you what to become, what to do, what to think, what to dream, what to wear, what job should you have, what major should you study, who should you love. Just don't. Stand for yourself. Speak for yourself. One thing I learned in life. There are two important majors to be successful in everything we do: TO START - this is pretty tough right, been there, sounds easy peasy but you don't know how, what, or when to start, and TO BE PERSISTENT - being persistent talks about the process along the way.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!
I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat?
Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: Speak Yourself.
Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.
I have posted one blog about this as well. You might wanna check this out?
