    This is my daily anthem. We are all beautiful and perfect just how we were created to be. The media insist that we all be insecure, chasing what everyone else has. But the devil is a lie.
    Love and appreciate who God made you to be. And be thankful for what he has blessed you with.

    This song made me look at myself in a way I've never seen before. I had to learn the hard way to love myself first. Loving someone else is easy but learning to love everything you think is wrong about yourself is something that takes a lot of time and patience and it may seem impossible but the truth is if you can't love yourself how do you expect someone else to love you?? I love myself no matter what and I'm very proud of the woman I've become! I'm proud to say I'm a beautiful black queen that loves herself first. Thank you Daddy for everything!!! You're the main reason I am the woman I am today! R.I.P. Henry White!! Your daughter loves you so much!!

    This is the first time I've ever come across this song, and I cried. I really needed to hear her message.

    Listen to this when I feel bad about myself. Always works.
