For the longest time I have felt awkward in my own skin. I was super sensitive in what people think about me. Growing up in two different countries, I know what it was like to be the odd one out and I found it difficult to identify with the people around me due to the cultural/ ethnic difference. As the years went by, I've had developed serious eating disorder, binging then starving, starving then binging. I was on so many different diets that I've lost count. I also became obsessive in my body image and especially on my weight more than anything. When I started university, the problem gotten even worse. Through a group of supportive family, friends and of course God! I was able to battle (and continue to battle) with this problem.
God, the lover of my soul has played the most important part in healing this deep wound in me, which I now realised the problem was mostly stemmed from my experiences of bullying and racial discrimination. Everyday I was reminded that I am beautiful and was created to reflect the beauty of our creator, God. He continues to show how he delights in me through my family, friends, travel opportunities and so much more. The love God has for me is what healed (and still healing) my wounded heart and has become the source of my confidence. I've learnt to embrace those negative experiences and turned them into positive things that shaped who I am today.
Through this difficult journey, I realised that I am not alone in feeling this and I want to share my story to encourage all of us beautiful ladies, no matter what your religious/political/cultural beliefs are, to love ourselves as who we are, look to our inner beauty more and be the unique and confident women each of us are. What I've learnt and am still learning is that beauty is not skin deep and we should embrace our beauty despite our body sizes and skin colour. I want to share all the goodness I have experienced in my life with a grateful heart on this blog and hopefully encourage and inspire us all to be the amazing people we were made to be. Let’s continue to be beauties together!
