On loving yourself
Written on Tuesday, 13 of April, 2010 at 12:22 am
I’ve had enough of my friend’s obsession with losing weight. Seeing her read lipozene review on her iPhone while we were eating in a very expensive restaurant was the last straw. She needs to get a life – in a major way.
I mean, I personally understand how insecurities can creep up and eat you alive especially those that are related to the physical aspect. But you need to know when NOT to let those things take hold of you. Otherwise you’ll be a slave to commercialism instead of the other way around. You are beautiful, just as you are. Whenever you feel otherwise, I suggest you memorize these lines from Desiderata (Latin for “desired things”, plural of desideratum) - a prose poem by Max Ehrmann about attaining happiness in life:
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
