#10YearChallenge
10 years ago, I was unhappy.
And no, it’s not just about the looks.
I had an acne breakout so bad I had to seek help from a dermatologist. I hated my thick lips so much,I purse my lips together all the time walking around my high school. I was chubby and lack of self-confidence, I consciously tilt my head down all the time. I have all these amazing ideas and creativity but I didn’t know how to express it. In the end, I found out some seniors was calling me weird and was bad mouthing me behind my back. I cried alone at night, feeling like life is going to go on like this forever.
Then I decided to grow up. I surround myself with people with positive mindset. I learned how to wear make up and dress well. I talk to people out of my usual social circle, and from there I got inspired by their crazy confidence and the way they carry themselves. I do things out of my comfort zone, work all sorts of jobs, constantly pushing myself to try something new at every new phase. I try my best to eat well and work out, as I realised a healthy figure is not for you to show off, but for you to train up your self-discipline.
To be honest, I am still battling some inner struggles of my own, but who doesn’t? I try my best to spread positive influence to the people around me, because I know how bad it felt to be going through the tough times. I kept reminding myself, to be someone the me from 10 years ago, would want to become. It’s always about overcoming the old you, and never about being better than someone else. 😁
I’m happy from the growth I’ve gained over this decade, not solely in terms of appearance, but my mental health and mindset. 🙂💪🏻
Let’s strive for another decade of growth and positivity!
