I really don't care what people think about myself. I have a lot to say about this quote by Hilary Duff. It took me years to finally get to this point in my life for myself. I tried, and I only focused on my flaws and so desperately wanted to change them to help make me feel better about myself, to feel comfortable in my own skin. And when Selena Gomez released her music video for "Who Says" (2011) and I wanted to start working to help me get closer gradually, naturally to believing that I am beautiful and feel that within myself. And throughout high school, barely nothing was accomplished along with the goal to accomplish body acceptance.

And then one day when I decided to watch "Penelope" and throughout the movie and after I had thoughts of what I was learning, my further thoughts on the topic of loving oneself. I really wanted to start working and dedicating myself to making this goal of self love, self acceptance within myself after seeing what "Penelope" was capable of doing on her own and perceived as inspiring to all audiences that watch it. It's a great movie to watch to uplift, encourage and inspire you to do the same kind of thing for yourself. To slowly, gradually work on loving yourself taking one day at a time to the point where you find yourself one day going out in public just as you are with your natural beauty (no filter, no makeup, no mask) and not care what people think.

When you start to choose your outfits for each day on what you feel like wearing, or what your comfortable in (with being more comfortable in your own skin) and just letting yourself be who you are without letting the haters and overall society dictate who you end up living as and how you live your life.

I've come to a great point in this and I'm proud of that. I really am proud of myself for accomplishing all that I have in my recovery and with loving myself, for the first time. And now, I believe that things are gonna be okay. That I'm gonna be okay.
