love yourself at the start and end of each day. love yourself even when a panic ensues and your heart starts to race. love (and forgive) yourself when you become short of breath and your head starts to spin. love yourself even when you stare in the mirror at the stretch marks on your breasts and the cellulite down your thighs. love yourself when you worked so hard, yet you are still short on money for groceries this week. love yourself even when the man you care for doesn't love you back. forgive yourself for loving him. love yourself (and repeat it to yourself) when your father isn't there to do it for you. love yourself even though you didn't get the dream job offer you wanted. love yourself (and your adventures) even when you haven't yet been able to travel abroad. love your body- every curve, crease, dimple. love the width of your hips even when society and fashion tells you not to. they will someday bare children and the right man will lose himself within their boundaries.

love yourself. because you are so beautiful. and every cell of your being deserves to be loved.
