Hey you, yes you. go grab a glass of water,
sit in front of the mirror and smile.
even if you have nothing to smile about, just try it,
you'll find something beautiful in you.

if you think you're ugly or having a bad hair day,

focus on your eyes, i think your eyes are beautiful.

don't think so? think again, there is no such thing as ugly eyes.

still smiling?
STOP!
now smile again.

notice you're more beautiful when you smile.
cool right?
You should try it more :)

are you scared of anything right now?
Are you stressed?
Take a sip of water.

now before you wipe the water away,
see the drops of water on your lips.
notice how they shine,
even in the tiniest bit of light.

they're just like you.
you shine no matter what.
you'll put up a smile even though you're hurting
you'll shine even though you're bursting into tears.

How do I know?
Because you're still here, practising self-care.

and you know self-care isn't selfish.
you know how to feel and you know how to breathe.

You're shining,
and I'm very proud of you.
