Believe in Happiness

Last time I mentioned some social media sites, but I wasn’t saying that everything on them was bad. My point was that people share a lot of photos—many of them photo-shopped or repetitive—that aren’t healthy for impressionable teenage girls to see. It causes distorted images of what beautiful is. But I would like to state it for the record: there are some powerful and inspirational pictures that contrast the aforementioned.

For starters, there are people who believe in themselves and they want to remind themselves of it all the time. Don’t lose sight of who you are or what you can do. Even if other people aren’t putting it into words, you are amazing, and other people see that. But sometimes you need to see it, too. It isn’t enough to reel for compliments for other people; you need to love yourself. You might think that sounds cheesy, but if you love who you are, then you will be more self-confident. And people will be able to tell.

People are attracted to confidence. It’s fun to be around someone who is happy and sure of herself. You don’t need to be cocky. Gross. Just be yourself and be happy with who that person is and what she does. It’s easier said then done—I know. You can sit around all day and revisit every bad situation in your life—OR you can start concentrating on the positive, and that is as easy as it sounds.
