Love yourself for who you are. Love your beautiful, insane, wonderful sweet soul.

 "And kid, you’ve got to love yourself. You’ve got wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You’ve got to sit next to the man at the train station who’s reading your favorite book and start a conversation. You’ve got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you’ve got to wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You’ve got to stop taking everything so goddam personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You’ve got to compliment someone's crooked brows at an art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. You’ve got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that won’t matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday. You’ve got to stop worrying about what you’re going to tell her when she finds out. You’ve got to stop over thinking why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. You’ve got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. F**k it. Love yourself, kiddo. You’ve got to love yourself."  - Author unknown

Stop comparing yourself to others

It only deprives you of your misery 

Stop hating yourself

You're one soul in a million

Love yourself for who you are

You've got to love yourself

Wake up at 5 in the morning

Drink hot tea and contemplate the beautiful sunrise

The sunrise that stretches like a watercolor painting across the canvas 

Listen to the birds chirping in the early morning

Look at the tiny dewdrops glistening like diamonds through the fog in the morning grass

Sit down on the train station on the Piccadilly line heading to Central London

And talk to a stranger

No matter how beautiful he or she appears to be

Talk to them

Contemplate their crooked smile

The way they walk and talk

Appreciate it

They're one in a million

And so are you

You're just a beautiful soul walking on earth

With a purpose

You've got to come home after a long, hard day and crawl under the covers

Close your eyes and forget the bad events that happened

Burn your favourite candles and snuggle with your soft blanket

Then you've got to wear your favourite, worn out sweater you bought for £10 in Camden Market

Stop taking everything so goddamn seriously

You are not the sky kissing the stars

You are the universe

Every atom resides within you

Life is a f*****g beautiful, insane, wonderful, sweet dream 

You've got to compliment someone's eyes at a music festival

And tell them their eyes remind you of the universe with a thousand jewels 

Looking like a tiny universe in the eyes

With stars glistening as pupils

And when they blink, little stars come out of their eyes

You've got to stop getting upset over small things that won't matter five years from now

Stay up all night on Saturday morning

And sleep in on Sunday

Stop wondering what you're going to tell your mom you bought a plane ticket down South to see someone when she finds out

Take it as it comes

Stop over thinking

It creates a problem that wasn't even there in the first place

Stop caring so much what others think of you

Just let it go

Be yourself

F**k it

Love yourself, child

You've got to love every inch of your beautiful, sweet, radiant soul

You've got to "sit next to the man at the train station who’s reading your favorite book and start a conversation, wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent, and compliment someone's crooked brows at and art show" is my favorite part, all great inspirational actions.
