learning to love me...

"every soul is great in the eyes of god"

"pretty is in the mind...righteousness​ is beautiful"

i'm a girl that wears her heart on her sleeve and her emotions on her face. i have to remind myself that simplicity is key to happiness in my life, keeping it simple and remembering whats truly important in life. i am extremely blessed with the immense amount of ahhhhmazing people that surround me daily. they are my rock and support system that help me make it through any trial i am faced with. i am learning that imperfection is in fact beautiful... im hard on myself so this is a hard lesson for me to learn. i have been trying to learn to be grateful for the trials that i have been through, am going through, and will go through because of the growth and strength i gain from them. i've learned the hard lesson of having to let go of the ones who don't deserve to be in m life...i have the problem of giving people one too many chances who have done me wrong and this ends up ultimately hurting me in the end because i forgive too easily. i have had to learn to have more self respect and dignity for myself to cut out those who have done me wrong. i live MY life, laugh often, and love whole heartedly. this is me... and im learning to love me.
