Nothing soothes my soul more than a walk on the beach or sitting down on the sand and Iistening to the sound of the waves while I close my eyes and just take a deep breath letting all the stress just fade away. It really helps me to dig deep inside of me and find my inner peace. The ocean is the most mysterious but also the most magnificent part of the earth. I think we’d all agree that the feeling the ocean gives you when you are nearby is just simply amazing.

Out there beyond that horizon your dreams await you and if you don’t chase them someone else will

Try to be the real you, the you underneath all the masks, the you underneath all your emotions, the you underneath all the doubts, just let it all go and be you. Be who you want to be, not who others want to see. You are whomever you choose to be, don’t hide who you are to favor others. Be happy and vibrant, follow your heart and your intuition. Whatever your beliefs are if you feel in your heart that they are right, then they are right.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment and I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention.

The ironic thing about my story is that when I went to elementary school, I used to get bullied because I was too skinny and now here I am trying to loose weight. This made me so insecure that I used to wear multiple layers over each other to hide how skinny I was. I kept doing this through all my years of high school until the last year, where I decided that I was going to accept myself as I was and I stopped doing it. Once I got older I did gain some weight but I had never been heavier than 55 kilos.
