52 Weeks to Falling in Love with YOU
Growing up Life is hard.
And I mean, like really hard. Social media, school and grades, jobs, shitty friendships, dates, boyfriends/ girlfriends… need I say more? On top of that, we’re constantly bombarded with unrealistic, photoshopped expectations of what our lives should look like. We’re being manipulated into doubting our own abilities before we even try. Presented with these fake, edited lives, we should “aspire to mimic”; completely overlooking the 10 filters applied, 5 lighting changes and previous 20 shots that didn’t make the cut, because they just. Weren’t. ‘Perfect. Enough’. No. We just get the one ‘perfect’ picture that makes us question our own self worth and value. Basically make us feel like shit.. am I right?
How many times do you scroll through Instagram or Facebook and when you finally get off the app you feel like crap because your life isn’t ‘insta perfect’?
We look at these unrealistic expectations that social media promotes as ‘the norm’; with a waist smaller than an A4 and a thigh gap the size of a tennis ball and then we hate ourselves for not looking like the models we see in magazines and billboards (who in fact, don’t even look like themselves).
We allow people to manipulate what we perceive as beautiful and worthy.

So here’s some background about why I started the #LovingYOU series:
One Christmas, I found myself giving advice to my 13 year old (at the time) cousin, about self-worth, appreciation and boys?! See, she was telling me how she hides from boys when she’s not wearing makeup, because she’s not one of the ‘skinny girls’, or ‘the pretty ones’. My blood boiled. I told her to never speak like that about herself. I told her she shouldn’t let others belittle her; that she’s perfect and beautiful and talented and waaaay to young to be worrying about how she looks without make up. And as I was telling her how important it is to love yourself… I realised I should be having this conversation with myself.
How many of us are excellence advice givers but awful at listening to the words we say?
I know I’m not the only one. We tend to focus on our flaws, failing to acknowledge how amazing each and everyone of us truly is. And so I think it’s time to become our own best friend and not the enemy…
I did my research and by looking at different articles on Pinterest (you gotta love Pinterest), I’ve come up a list of 52 questions (one a week). This might not work for everyone and not all of the questions might spring an automatic answer, and that’s totally okay. Give yourself a chance to stick with it, think about your answer and you’ll see how much this can put things into perspective.
P.S. The first time I did this, I posted each week – this time however, I won’t be posting all my answers, just the ones I feel like sharing.
So here’s my..
