“Sometimes the hardest person to love is yourself. I’ve suffered so much self hate and resentment. That I realized this war within me had to stop. So I glanced at the mirror smiling at the lovely woman staring back. And I admired her body with awe. So I told her that she is smart , kind ,beautiful and strong. While I vehemently chanted to every inch of her body ,as resilient and wonderful. So now her beauty is embedded within my thoughts. From that moment on I just knew it. After hating her for all these years….. I was finally loving her for the first time.”
