Takes a real woman to realise that womanhood is not all about impressing the opposite ***,
Or doing all it takes;
To grab attention,
Its not all about having curves or ***** for attraction,
There's more to it,
There's love and care to it,
Integrity,humility,
Meekness,intectuality,
There's beauty,.
Every woman possesses great beauty,
Takes the right people to see it truly,
Womanhood itself is a beautiful gift,
Embrace it,
Live it,
Love it.

Finally living for myself and it feels fantastic

Laugh like you've never known sadness,
Smile genuinely like you don't know how to frown,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like noones listening,
Dance like you're the only one with eyes to see your moves,
Pray like the first time you did when you knew of your Saviour,
Believe and have faith,like a young child.
Life  is  short .

The key to true happiness and content is to fall in love with yourself, as corny as that sounds.

Because the second you become fully dependent on another person whether that be financially or emotionally that's when you set yourself up in your own trap.

and ultimately self love and self fulfillment while it is one of the hardest things to master it's still one of those things that will never fall through the cracks once it's finally in your reach. The first step, in my opinion, is to always remind yourself that if you're not being treated the way you would want to be treated it's okay to step back, it doesn't make you in any way selfish to want more for yourself..it makes you a human being.

You should always try to make your loved ones proud.
For example, make your mother proud and your dad, even your grandparents.

But never forget to make yourself proud.

More often than not I'm able to distract myself and keep myself busy, keep my thoughts on other things  

but other times, everything hits me all at once like a ton of bricks, breaking down all of the progress and growth I've made

and I still haven't figured out how to put myself back together

Trying to explain your anxiety to someone who has never experienced it has got to be one of the most challenging, and difficult things to do.

Anxiety is real, and it is a day to day obstacle.
