We can never address the issue of self esteem enough. But first, we need to ask ourselves who is “They” that we feel the need to compete with or compare ourselves too. Who is “They” that sets the standard of what is beautiful or not. It is very crucial that we have discussions with our ladies starting at a very young age being that social media plays a major part in our lives today.
Low self esteem can cause depression or suicide. Many of us have walked with our heads high but at some point feeling hurt inside. We must believe in ourselves but also encouragement to each other. One kind word could prevent another straw from breaking someone apart.
I love to see the beauty of people
If it’s on the outside with fashion
Or on the inside with a heart of compassion
It doesn’t matter the skin color
Still to me could be a friend
sister or brother
Your hair can be blond, black,
short or long
Being comfortable within you
can’t go wrong
Never underestimate your ability
Show the world God’s creativity
If no one else does
In yourself you have to believe
