learn to love yourselves

my blog post today is going to be about learning to love who we are. And by love, I don't mean in a cocky, arrogant way, where you believe that everyone loves you because of how pretty you think you may be, or how many friends you have.  I mean a genuine love, accepting who are and realising that you were made an individual and not a copy.

1. The greatest gift you can give yourself is yourself filled with self-love. Unfortunately,  in our society too many people are hard on themselves because they haven't learnt to accept their own beauty.

2. Instead of fighting with yourself, beating yourself up and trying to change these imperfections that we all have, love yourself!  Embrace every imperfection you have and work with it.

3. It's cliché but true, no one can never love you properly if you don't learn to love yourself.  It's a hard task, and we all criticise the way we are, whether that be how we look, how we act etc.

Whether you're size 6 or 20, Black or White, confident or quiet! Totally embrace it all because no one else can be you, people may judge you but that's because we try and find faults in other people to make ourselves feel better,  it's human nature. 

Forget about the little things in life, love yourself for who you are, if you are one of these people who have to look in the mirror everyday and say what you love about yourself , THEN DO IT! and work it like there is no tomorrow. I for one, am sick and tired of how one person, who I might add probably has nothing natural about them, gets to decided what's right and what's wrong in a person, be whoever the hell you want to be!

Those of you who know me, know I am an original sass pot! and always have been! I've never really worried about how people look at me, because I have accepted that I will never look like Beyoncé or Rihanna or whoever the media finds 'perfect' but I am a happy person and that's because I learnt to love myself!

The hardest challenge is to be yourseld in a world where everyone is trying to make you somebody else- E.E. Cummings

You've got us all wrong....

I haven't written a post in a while because I didn't want this to be a pointless thing where I just write for the sake of writing.

The title of today's blog is 'you've got us all wrong' because I am going to talk about Christians,  this including myself! having been one of the most judged religions in the world, which quite frankly I can understand,  because there are a number of fools who claim to be Christian and give us a bad name. First thing I will start by saying is, I am not religious at all, how is that possible you're thinking? Well,  being religious means that you're living under 'monastic vows' and I can tell you, I have no vows to live under, I simply live my life with a relationship with Jesus, there are no rules, the 10 commandments are certainly not 'vows' in fact, they're no different to what society would follow today,  'thou shall not commit murder' well I should hope not.

Secondly,  we do not 'hate' gay people,  that is one of the biggest lies that has ever been branded on Christian's, being gay doesn't mean you're going to hell, Jesus loves and accepts you no matter your walk of life or what you have done, too many radical's, I don't even want to call them Christian's, are quick to say, 'we hate gays', when the the truth is, those people really don't know the true meaning of being 'followers of Christ' Jesus walked with everyone

Another thing that frustrates me is how the media portray Christianity,  pedophile priests and songs of praise (boring and outdated I am sure you would agree). I can assure you that we Christian's aren't boring,  and those of you who know me can clarify this. The funniest, best moments in my life have been in church, at christian camps and conferences, at massive Christian concerts were we go absolutely mental to dupsteb and strobe lights. I have seen first-hand healings, I have been healed myself, I have experienced things that I will never be able to fully explain.

God and Jesus may be a myth to you, but he is very much alive and walking with me, everyone has a right to their own beliefs, I fully respect that, but don't tell me what I believe is wrong. All Christian' s aren't bad people,  just like all German's weren't Nazis. You will never be able to understand God unless you have an encounter with him, you will just try to understand what someone else tells you, just like you will never understand what a heart attack feels like unless you have one yourself,  you will only know what you've been told.

And if you've read this thinking what absolute bullshit, I love you, and Jesus does to. Nothing like a good atheist to ne friends with, mwah x
