"We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves. The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are."-- Don Miguel Ruiz
Ahhhh... I'm glad I get emails like these because it makes me look deep inside myself and think about how I really feel about myself and what I can do to improve... There are things about myself that I don't really like and they are so magnified to me, that sometimes they affect my life. I try very hard to work through it or at least make it undetectable to others... but sometimes it doesn't work very well.....
So note to self: Love yourself, you're awesome!!! :)~
Bye!!!!

you ARE awesome though. i was just thinking today that i hate my flaws. i feel like everyone can see them, but probably not. probably just me, but all the same i really need to work on improving myself. :P
i've had a crappy week (minus today), so maybe i'm just being too hard on myself.
