Be thankful to those who refuse to help you, for they force you to summon upon your warrior within.

There is nothing shameful about loving yourself. The shame is in NOT loving the unique and brilliant individual that you are.

Centuries of social conditioning has created a generational fear among women of being perceived as masculine.This is where all the shaming and labels come into play, which perpetuate the oppression of girls and women. As a society we shame girls with deep voices or masculine features and we shame boys with soft voices or effeminate gestures. Girls get called 'too manly' and boys get called 'too girly'. The only solution I can think of is to be unashamedly 'you'. If that means challenging stereotypes and gender norms, go right ahead!

My Dear Friend, Don't ever allow yourself to forget how incredibly special you are, even for a single second. Without you, the world would not be as magnificent. Let yourself remember to love again, starting with you loving you.

You are your own soul mate, so love and treat yourself in the same way you would your life partner.

The saying 'flattery gets you everywhere' appalls me. If you're going to pay someone a compliment make sure it's 100% genuine or not at all.-Flattery is deception and who wants to be lied to?
