I, as a 21-year-old, was riddled with insecurity and self-critiquing. Some of my friends still are. I realised that I didn’t like friends taking photos of me when I wasn’t working and I actually got in a fight about this issue. And I wondered, why is this bothering me? Why does this make me so insecure? And I realised it’s because I can’t even reconcile myself with my own image on the front of these magazines. Comparing myself to how I look, when I’ve gone through all of that makeup and styling, in my normal life is… just… I can’t live up to it. I was like, “Holy shit! If that’s how I feel — and I get to be the person who’s on the cover of those magazines — how’s anyone else meant to cope?” — Emma Watson

Loving yourself isn’t always easy. This is especially true because you, of all people, know every little thing about yourself. Every twerk. Every thing that makes you, you. But you know what else? For every imperfection, there are ten more positive qualities. You are a beautiful addition to this earth.
Respect yourself entirely.
Love yourself unconditionally.

Being lost is so close to being found!!
Back here in Bangalore, I live in a hostel.Recently I had to move from ground floor to second floor.I packed everything neatly and was all set to move in. But then,next day when I was off to work I could not find my watch.It was my favorite column one and only watch.It was stylish.It had a large dial and a nice strap. I am generally in a hurry in the mornings and yet I searched ...searched everywhere.No luck. The rest of the day,I was too busy to remember the watch. Now,I talk to my mother everyday when I walk to work.And I told her about the missing watch.We talked about it for a few minutes.I remembered about my watch only the following day when I was again in the usual hurry to get to work.I pitied myself.I made a promise to myself that I will look for the watch today evening when I get back from work. That evening, as soon as I came back,I started my hunt.I remember bringing it to the new room with the last set of things to be moved from the previous room.Unfortunately ,I don't remember all the things in the last set.So I searched everything.Right from my suitcase,my coat my clothes stacked in the closet,my laundry basket ,my backpack under the bed..everywhere.I couldn't find it. The possibility I can think of was ,it slipped away from my hand while I was moving it to the new room.I was so sad.So sad ,that I am such a careless girl.Then I started to cleanup my scattered books on my bed and found a tiny silk pouch in which I keep my pen and pencils.I know that is weird to keep in a silk pouch but I liked the pouch and my tools seemed to fit perfectly in it.Suddenly I remembered ,it was in the set of things that was moved in the end.But it was so small ,it couldn't possibly fit a watch.Nevertheless ,I would have seen it if it was in there because I use it daily.Anyways ,I wanted to look in it.In the mean time ,I was thinking of asking matron and other girls of the missing watch and the pain I have to take to search the rooms for the watch.Afterall the watch was close to my heart. Tadaaa! It was there.It was there in the pouch.The straps in a awkward position and the dial in the peaceful position .Wow.At that moment,words of Archangel Michael from the movie Legion came to my mind. "Some people who realize being lost is so close to being found". Maybe ,if I had tried just one more time ,just that last one more time the last time I gave up...I would have found what I wanted.I may have seen what I wanted......
