Loving yourself.

Helloooo! I have just recovered from my exams- THEY'RE OVER!! *jumps with joy*. It has been a really hard year, but I'm proud to say that whatever happens, I know I worked my ass off and optimism is the way forward :). I believe if you view life in this perspective, it will make things seem more clearer. There's no point of being pessimistic: take every opportunity as a positive one. If you fail? Try again and again. 

I think I've gained quite a lot of inspiration from viewing videos on youtube, such as Bubzbeauty- i've watched her since I was twelve.. She's a true inspiration. I think that recently, I've learnt to love myself more and appreciate who I am. I may not be great at some things such as maths or being great at physics,but I can tell you what I am good at!

• I like to consider myself as a good friend- I'm quite caring.
• I love English and History- debating, arguing, analysing..
• NO.1 top best hugger
• I am honest.
•  I'm good at writing
• I can make people laugh

The list could go on, but the main point is, love yourself. It's a waste of time comparing yourself- whether it's grades (WHICH i am guilty of), appearance, personality and what not. Love yourself for who you are- cheesy as it sounds but you were born to be different so be original and not a copy. 

The best advice I can give you is to just look at things optimistically. On one hand, I can think how my results may be horrible and I will cry all night- yes that might happen (because alevels are a little poo head), but on another hand, you can look at things overall and in a optimistic way. Okay, I did not manage to achieve this but I tried my hardest, and now I need to figure out what I need/want. Don't sugar coat things, don't be over confident, but be loving to yourself and be honest. You are your own best friend. Even surrounding yourself with the right people makes a huge impact. 

Love yourself.

Stay beautiful, Elaine Chu. xxx
