Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
– Lao Tzu
Loving oneself isn't hard, when you understand who and what 'yourself' is. It has nothing to do with the shape of your face, the size of your eyes, the length of your hair or the quality of your clothes. It's so beyond all of those things and it's what gives life to everything about you. Your own self is such a treasure.
-Phylicia Rashad
"Here's the thing, men have to also mature in how they see women, too. Because they need to understand that it's not just about how we look, it's about who we are."
-Jada Pinkett Smith
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
― Robert F. Kennedy
First post with my natural hair texture & I can't believe I used to hate it!
It took me years to appreciate my curly/wavy hair. I remember wearing my hair in a ponytail ALL THE TIME growing up because I just didn't know how to make it straight. In my country, having curly hair wasn't popular at all. I wasn't part of the "cool kids club" because of my hair, amongst other things. Fast forward to moving to USA, I was exposed to diversity. My former "not-so-cool" hair is now very much accepted. It still took me awhile to get used to wearing my hair wavy because I didn't know the right products to tame them.
