The title of the book is "I'm Ugly but That's Ok." I wanted to explain the title because it could get misunderstood. The true meaning of the title is it is ok to want to change. Some of you reading this book may feel as though you are going to stay this way. Let me tell you how much of a lie you are telling yourself. It is ok to be different. It is ok to be unique. I tried so hard since I was a kid to be the same as everybody else. I wanted to fit in to be their friends. I wanted some kind of attention from my classmates. A personal story is I was bullied from second grade all the way to sophomore year of high school. I felt so ugly when it came to relationships because I ended up in bad ones. (Some were good relationships). My relationships were bad in a way to where I did not feel like the "pretty" girlfriend. A lot of my ugliness came from just having the mindset by other people's words about me. The changing your mind part comes into questioning how do you TRULY feel about yourself? If you ask yourself this question; I would suggest writing down the answer. Write it on a sticky note and put it somewhere you can see it. Another thing is learning about how having those low days about yourself is fine. Another day will come to where you can dress up in your favorite outfit, do your favorite hairstyle, or even come home to your lovely pet. For me, I will dress up the next day if I felt down about myself or treat myself to my favorite food. Little things you do to change even a little bit goes a long way.
Each chapter is something I wanted my thoughts to just conjure up into something. I was never able to properly write this stuff down but I want to help somebody.
I am insecure. I have low self esteem. I am 22. Welcome to my new book. It is not intended to be a self help book but meant to be a personal experience writing thing. I do hope you enjoy it and if you need anybody to talk to for advice. My messages are always open.
