You’re not going to tear down my :
And everything else that comes with my empire.
No trespassing.
Keep moving.
Under construction.
Please love yourself today, and everyday after. Find value in who you are and strength in your own character. Talk positive about your body and your life. Nothing will ever be what we want ideally, but its what we have. Appreciate the opportunity of life, relationships, and love.
Appreciate all that you have gone through and don’t be scared of the future to come, the stuff thats ahead.
Be happy. Smile. Be brave. Be honest with yourself. Change things you don’t like. Don’t give anyone your happiness and work on your own masterpiece. The interaction between your heart and your mind. Peace of mind. Peace of heart. Peace of body. Peace of soul.
Work to focus on yourself and keep your eyes on internal growth and prosperity. Keep calm and keep forward. Don’t live in the past or worry about the future.
Work is due today, right now on your happiness and self-appreciation.
You are needed.
You are wanted.
You are important.
You are powerful.
You are an individual.

About 5 days ago I laid in my bed after a long and tiring day. As I laid in bed I struggled to see the reasons why I’m in school. You know, like those moments where you ask yourself why. The why for me in that moment came down like a ton of bricks. I felt like I wasn’t good enough to be where I am in life, in school. I started doubting myself and asking questions about whether I’m doing as good as I thought in my classes. I just felt horrible and I didn’t know why the doubt and confusion struck me so hard. It was hard to tell myself, Nina its okay! You’re doing your best and that’s all you can give.
Now that I reflect on that moment, on a time that I felt worthless, powerless, and doubted my potential, I see that where I am in life itself represents what I can do and where I can go if I work on myself along with taking opportunities that can help me reach where I want to go in my future.
Although the why’s that pop up randomly sometimes make us think critically about our current position, where we are, and if we are actually making progress toward our true potential, they help us to see that we are going somewhere! Going somewhere, whether it’s small, whether it’s moving toward saying I’m okay today, I appreciate myself today, I’m beautiful today, I made it through work today, I can today is meaningful progress. Those why’s can be so blurry, but when they become clearer so does realizing your path and potential.
Stay positive and keep going!
I’m not saying that you have to be a feminist to show your true potential, nor do you have to agree with everything Roxane Gay has to say, but she does a brilliant job at showing her views! She’s says she’s a “bad feminist,” but she is beautiful and amazing at realizing and showing her potential through her views on women and ways in which she sees the world through her eyes.
Potential revealed through words and perspective.
It’s not always easy realizing the power and worth you have. Potential is revealed through hard work and dedication, but if you are not willing or motivated to push past boundaries to see your fullest potential then it’s difficult to see yourself as anything but average. I’m here to say that your power and worth is greater than what you see yourself to be. Your worth is built up on the ability, your ability, to strive and reach for your maximum potential. The more you see yourself worthy, the more your power and potential is manifested in the way you walk, talk, and carry out even the smallest everyday tasks.
Strive to find that power. Strive to see that worth. Strive to reach your fullest potential! Potential does not have to mean strain and it doesn’t have to mean running a marathon, or becoming tired, potential is everything that makes you YOU! Potential is your capacity to show the worth who you are, to show yourself that you can be who you want to be despite societal expectation. Potential can mean the way you discuss your passions to a stranger, potential can mean the way you communicate with your family and friends, potential can mean the way you love yourself enough to keep going to work or school even though you are struggling. Potential gives birth to self-worth and power in oneself. Giving yourself freedom to live and be yourself is manifested potential. Not everyone is able to realize their worth and power because they have given up their fight on potential.
Being yourself, loving yourself, valuing yourself, and finding worth in who you are and what you can bring forth in encountering tasks and people you meet shows your potential and your power.
Show everyone what you are made of!
