My Epiphany

For many years, I suffered with intense insecurities and eating disorders. Recently, I came to the realization that happiness is not judged upon the way I look or the size of my body. Happiness is having the assurance in yourself that you can achieve all that you dream. I am the person I want to be. I love myself. I have an incredible curvy womanly body, and a beautiful face. But what makes me most happy, is the person I am becoming. I relied on guys heavily to feel beautiful, and today I realized that I don't need to. Sure guys are amazing, but I need to feel beautiful without them. I never understood why my relationships with men never worked out. I realize it's because I only looked to them to feel beautiful and attractive. But that is not healthy. A relationship is about having love and respect for someone-especially when you have love and respect for yourself.
