WHEN YOU COMPARE YOURSELF YOU WILL ALWAYS WANT TO CHANGE SOME PART OF YOUR BODY, YOU NEED TO JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND SAY ALL THE POSITIVE THINGS YOU CAN THINK OF ABOUT YOURSELF. HAVING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT YOURSELF WILL MKE YOU WANNA HIDE YOURSELF, COVER YOURSELF AND YOU WOULD'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANYTHING AND YOU ARE LOSING ALL THE SELF ESTEEM INSIDE YOU. EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS PHOTOSHOP NEVER BELIEVE IT! BE WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE! BE UNIQUE!
