I Finally Started Loving Myself

I had a time when I did not care about myself at all, my grades were dropping, and I didn't care for my body, or even for my mental health. I also practically REVOLVED my life around this guy I liked and I regret it so so much... I had such a huge crush on him to the point where I'd do things I wouldn't normally do like play online games and things to make him like me more. My friends kept telling me to just tell him, but I was so scared of rejection. I was so scared that I'd asked my friend to do it (as a joke obviously) but somehow she got his username and messaged him. It was fine of course since she thought I asked her to, (he ghosted me btw), but now I'm realizing that it had to happen for me to move on, and so, I did. A few months passed by and I finally started realizing my worth. I started working out, eating healthy and just changing my entire mindset, and when I tell you I couldn't be any happier. I have my ups and downs, but working on myself changed my life, i feel so much better now, I love spending time with my friends, cooking, having fun with my family, reading, working out, taking THE everything shower every week, studying, doing my makeup, having a night routine, and just living. seeing how I was before, I'm so proud of myself, I'm proud that I'd finally started seeing my worth, caring for myself, and loving me. Putting myself first is the best thing ever and I will never regret it. Talking about my self-improvement excites me. I get to share it with people and hopefully inspire them to do the same, please PLEASE be gentle with yourself, always be kind, and spread positivity. Once you finally start caring for yourself, it's only the beginning, it's only going to get better from there. Love yourself and know what you're worth sweetheart! ♡
