Gloing Up



 

I remember when I was younger, I thought I had no personality or sense of style. Nothing that would make me stand out from those around me.  I had cousins who would occasionally visit and I felt happy when they came because they seemed so foreign, just the very air of them made me feel privileged to be in their presence. I admired them and wondered if I could ever be as pretty and as cool as them.
As time passed by I grew to love myself and appreciate the little things that form who I am. I am beautiful and cool in my own way. I can’t remember when my mindset changed but I knew it didn’t happen overnight. Now when I see those cousins again I don’t feel inferior or that they’re better than me because I am no longer comparing them with myself; I am uniquely me and they are uniquely them.
I do believe that what causes your glow up is not that you have discovered make up, lost some weight or now have some new clothes. But that you accept yourself for who you are and love yourself with or without those things. 
Self-love is really important. Be happy with your flaws, accept them. It's okay to fall short of what society deems beautiful. You don't need to be perfect with the perfect skin colour, perfect hair, the perfect body type. Accept yourself for who you are and don't beat up yourself because you aren't who you wish you were. Instead of trying to perfect our outer appearance we should try and improve our souls. Be nice to people, give compliments to a stranger, encourage someone who seem unhappy. Beauty starts from within, being a good person is better than being a good looking person. Beauty fades but who you are will remain for a lifetime.

Self love plays a major role in your 'glo up' Here's some advice so you can begin your process xx

    I like this, its good to accept once self for who we are physically mentally, etc. Most of us got caught up in this illusion of beauty.

Easy Road to Success/Happiness

Today I realized how the accomplishment of a simple goal can make you feel so wonderful. It doesn't have to be something major as long as it is something you have been wanting to do for a while and for some reason you just kept putting it off. When you finally muster the strength to go and cross that thing off your list you get a sense of relief and happiness. Well, that's what happened to me and I'm 90% sure it will happen to you too. Currently I'm attending University and I'm not working but I always love saving which I usually do out of my weekly allowance. But I find myself not being able to keep my savings for more than 3weeks then it's all gone. I knew that I want my saving to be long term so today I went to the bank and deposited a half of my allowance. It felt so good; and I thought, what if everyday I did something like this, crossing something off my to do list. Eventually, I'll be so in love with this feeling and want to keep accomplishing. S...

Christianity and Social Networks

On social media, people generally tend to speak of Christianity in a negative light. I've seen persons, for example, a feminist on Twitter, attack Christianity for supporting unequal treatment of the sexes when that is not so. They use the Bible to try and prove their points when the truth is most of these persons when they read the Bible only pick out a few verses and call it a day. They do not study the word of God or go to Bible studies so they can understand God's word the way he intend it to be, neither do they pray for God's assistance in interpreting his word. And why should they? They are not Christians. These people want to disregard and ridicule the word of God and Christianity in general. They use the word of God as a means to an end, which is strengthening their points and invalidating Christianity. We live in a world where people find it easy to glorify sin. Everyone's talking about the music or books that encourages us to make money so we can 'stunt ...

13 Reasons Why You Should Stay Alive

I didn't want to watch '13 Reason Why' until my exams were finished, this was hard to do because everyone on social media was talking about it so I grew more and more curious. One day I was on hall with some friends and one of them asked if we had heard about the show, I was the only one who knew about it. The other two girls started asking questions wanting to know what it's about and before you know it we all grouped together watching episode 9 from her iPhone7.It was so interesting we couldn't stop watching, well I had to leave after episode 11 because I had an interview in a couple of hours, so I needed the sleep. My friends kept watching til episode 13 where the season ended. Needless to say, I was hooked since that night. I needed to know all the reasons why Hannah killed herself and in two days I finished the series. For those of you just hearing about the show I'm going to give you a brief overview of what it's about (without any spoilers, I pro...
