Learn to Love Yourself
There’s all this pressure in our society to be beautiful， to be strong， to be sexy. So we spend our time and money trying to become these things. We put on the high heels， the suits， the make-up， and the mask. Then， we feel more awkward than confident， so we drink away[以喝酒打发] our anxieties. That doesn’t make us look any sexier—it just makes us stop caring about how we look.
Everyone is beautiful. Everyone is sexy. Everyone is strong. It’s lunacy[荒诞的]. We’re all running around trying to become something that we already are.
You know what’s really sexy？ A person who’s 100% comfortable with themselves. And you know what’s really funny？ It is just as time consuming[消耗] and difficult to learn to accept yourself as it’s to pretend to be someone else. The only difference is—with self acceptance， one day， it’s not hard anymore. One day， you feel like your sexiest， strongest self just rolling out of bed in the morning.
You’re either going to spend the little time you have in your life on trying to know yourself or trying to hide yourself. The choice is yours. You can’t do both.
And you know what’s really amazing about choosing self-love？ You’ll be setting an example for all the people around you and all the kids of the coming generation. You’ll be part of a revolution[革命] to take back the precious moments of our lives out of the hands of shame-inducing[引起] advertisers and back into the hands and hearts of real people like you， like me， like all of us.
I know you’ve dreamt about changing the world. So this is your chance. Learn to love yourself， accept yourself， and unleash[解除……的束缚] your strongest， sexiest self. It’s in there. You just have to believe it.
