dear you,

happy Wednesday! no matter how your week has gone, take a moment today to try and let it all fall away. it’s unfortunate that our society tends to focus on the negative. instead of telling ourselves what we like, we spend much more time beating ourselves up over our flaws, or counting the things we want to change about ourselves.

so today, take a good long look at yourself, and find one thing that you love. or even something that you kind of like. one thing that makes you beautiful and special and unique. I guarantee there’s at least one thing in every single person. once you find that one thing, write it down. write it here, write it on your blog, write it on your bathroom mirror, write it on a piece or paper and put it by your bedside. but wherever you choose to write it, make sure you write it down. it will be harder to forget if you write it. so find one thing you love about yourself, then write it, remember it, treasure it, believe it.

love, me

what do you love about yourself?

dear you,

happy Saturday!

is there anything nicer than getting a nice message in your inbox?  sometimes the message comes at exactly the right moment to brighten your day, or sometimes it’s just enough to get you through a rough patch, or simply makes you smile. 

how much time out of your day will it take to find one person, and say one nice thing to them?  you never know, you might save a life, be the spark of light in a dark tunnel, dry a tear, or create a smile. 

so go ahead, make someone’s day.

love, me

PS, I think you’re beautiful, wonderful, and worthy of loving yourself.

dear you,

happy Wednesday!  today, take a minute to remind yourself how wonderful you are. you have so many unique, amazing, beautiful things about you. it’s easy to forget those things, especially if other people try to convince you otherwise, so take a minute to remember.

think of one thing you love about yourself. one thing that’s amazing, one thing that’s beautiful, one thing that you’re proud of, one thing you wouldn’t change for the world. or if that’s too hard right now, think of one thing that you kind of like. one thing that’s alright, one thing you think isn’t so bad.

write it down. write it here, write it on your blog, write it on your bathroom mirror, write it on a notebook by your bedstand. but write it down somewhere. write it, remember it, treasure it, believe it.

love, me

dear you,

happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is going to be nice and relaxing (or fun and exciting, whichever you prefer!) now, before you go off and relax or have fun, take a minute to do something nice for someone else: go send someone a message in their ask box, starting with “I think you’re…” and completing the sentence with something positive about them, or their blog.

it’s always nice to get nice messages, isn’t it? you never know, you could you might save a life, be the spark of light in a dark tunnel, dry a tear, or make someone smile.

so go ahead, make someone’s day.

love, me

PS, I think you’re so much more incredible than you give yourself credit for.

dear you,

happy Wednesday!  I certainly hope your day was better than mine.

I had jury duty, so I went to the court house, sat around until my panel was called, went through the selection questions, didn’t get picked (“does anyone have a legitimate, compelling reason why they won’t be available for the duration of this trial?” “um…I have midterms starting tomorrow, two of which I CANNOT make up for any reason, including being on my death bed or in jury duty—I asked my teachers—and one of those midterms is worth 30% of my grade, so if I miss it I’ll automatically get a C in the class.”) and then had to sit around all afternoon waiting to see if I’d be needed.  Wasn’t needed for anything, so I ended up doing homework and studying the rest of the time, then got my “you served on jury duty, yay you” payment, and went across the street to the law firm I’ve started working at as a law clerk, and bates stamped (essentially: page numbered) documents for two hours.

yes, it was an absolutely thrilling day. how was yours?

anyway. as today is Wednesday, take a moment to reflect on yourself, and think about something that you love about yourself. something that makes you YOU. write it down. write it here, or on your blog, or on a piece of paper on your bed-stand, or on your mirror. write it, remember it, treasure it, believe it.

love, me

what do you love about yourself?

dear you,

happy Saturday! think of the nicest thing someone said to you all week, and how it made you feel. who doesn’t love a kind word? so take today to go and find someone on tumblr (or in real life if you’re feeling ambitious), and find something you love about them or their blog, and tell them how amazing they are. send them a message starting with “I think you’re…” and completing the sentence with that something amazing about them.

you never know, you could save a life, dry a tear, spark a smile, or make a new friend. so go ahead, make someone’s day.

love, me

PS, I think you are incredible and amazingly beautiful.

dear you,

happy Wednesday! I hope this Wednesday finds you happy and healthy. <3 from what I’ve been hearing, there’s a lot of hate that’s been going around recently, and I know it can be hard to shake off hurtful things that people say, so today, really take a minute to remind yourself that those things aren’t true. you are beautiful, wonderful, unique, and special.  but it’s one thing for me to say that, and another thing for you to say it to yourself. so take today to look at yourself and find one thing that you love about yourself. write it down somewhere, and remember that thing when people try to put you down.  you are beautiful. write it, remember it, treasure it, believe it.

love, me

PS, while you’re remembering what you love about yourself, take another moment to remember happy things.   this lovely blog is a place for people to write down what makes them happy, so I encourage you to go submit something that makes you happy.  it’s nice to remember happy things, isn’t it?

what do you love about yourself?

dear you,

happy Wednesday! today, remind yourself that you’re beautiful and amazing. how? think about yourself, all of yourself, and find one thing that you love.  it can be something big or small, but as long as you like it about yourself, it counts. write that one thing down, and put it where you can see it. write it, remember it, treasure it, believe it. you’re worth it.

love, me

happy Saturday! I hope you’re having an awesome day, all of you lovely people.  think of the nicest thing someone said to you all week, and how it made you feel. who doesn’t love a kind word? so take today to go and find someone on tumblr (or in real life if you’re feeling ambitious), and find something you love about them or their blog, and tell them how amazing they are. send them a message starting with “I think you’re…” and completing the sentence with that something amazing about them.

PS, I think you’re much, much more beautiful than you know. <3

dear you,

happy Wednesday! any of you who are on the quarter system like me started school up again this week.  I don’t know about you, but I anticipate being in for a really long, busy, hard quarter.  it’s easy to get bogged down with stress and schoolwork, so try to always remember that your grades don’t define you. you define you. and you are beautiful.

but it’s easy for me to tell you that you’re beautiful, it’s harder to tell yourself the same thing, I know. so today, take a minute to remind yourself how beautiful you are.  find one thing about yourself that you love. or even something that you like a little.  write it down. write it here, or on your blog, or on a piece of paper on your bed-stand, or on your mirror. write it, remember it, treasure it, believe it.

love, me

PS, what do you <3 about yourself?
