Introduction

Do you love yourself ? What do you see in the mirror each morning? Is it positive? Can you honestly say you’re capable of starting the day with a smile?

Most of us are plagued by negative thoughts. We don’t believe we’re good enough. We don’t think that we deserve opportunities, love or even happiness. Self-doubt can be a powerful destructive force, much more damaging than the harm others will inflict on you.

It took me a long time to learn to love myself.

I was a happy child and my earliest memories are all sweet and exciting. Things changed in high school. The subject of extensive bullying, I lost a lot of my inner essence and my strength. I started questioning my abilities, my intelligence, even my lovability. It took a long time, a lot of soul-searching and the gradual development of a supportive network to start reconnecting with myself. Eventually, feelings of love and self-appreciation developed. For the longest time, however, I believed that I wasn’t deserving of anything positive.

This book is dedicated to all the ladies out there who have experienced similar struggles.

It’s dedicated to the shy girl at college who feels too timid to approach someone or confess romantic interest for her crush.

It’s for the woman who’s being put down at work because she’s too young or because others believe her appearance helped her move up the career ladder.

It’s for those who struggle with their image, their relationship with others and most importantly – their relationship with themselves. Whether it’s through trauma, personal characteristics or specific life events, low self-confidence and self-loathing can have destructive consequences. For me, these manifested themselves in a series of doomed relationships, one-night stands and even sexual coercion that I accepted as something normal.

Despite the heavy intro, I want this book to be a positive read and a source of inspiration. If it weren’t for the tough times I’ve gone through, I never would have become the woman that I am today. Which is why I’m thankful. Now,
