I remember when I used to hate myself. I remember I couldn't look in the mirror without seeing a monster. I used to cry myself to sleep, hide myself when with friends. Now I can happily say that I can look in the mirror and see a beautiful young lady. There are still times that I will criticize myself, but then I have to tell myself, "Name what you don't like and then tell yourself you love your flaws, your flaws are what make you flawless." I have to remind myself every time I start looking for the monster I used to believe that I was.
