Jenna, you have got to love yourself. Be proud of who you are. You have to have that amazing self-confidence and put that smile on your face. I struggled with this for the longest time, believe me. It hasn't been until the last couple months that I said, "You know what? I'm done being a critic of myself." There are so many people out there who will tear somebody else down in a second....that's why you've got to love yourself.
Wake up every day and say, "By God, I'm approved by Almighty God himself. He made me; he accepts me; he loves me. I love me." Pretend like you have a big stamp right across your chest that says, APPROVED BY ALMIGHTY GOD. What is that saying from that famous basketball player, who I can't remember the name of? He said, "Yeah, I like other people.....but I love me some me!"
I've learned to take time for yourself to do stuff that you enjoy doing; screw what other people say or think. Are you out to impress them? Hell no; you're out to impress you. I want you to work on that self-esteem, and that self-confidence. And why shouldn't you? You're young, you're healthy, I don't doubt that you're smart, funny....in all of your posts, I always notice how positive you always are!!
I'm still learning myself; damn, I was suicidal not too long ago, not something I like to admit. But you know what, I freaking love myself now, and it's the best feeling in the world. So love yourself, and you will see other people start to notice it as well.
