List five things you love about yourself.

“Although growing up I didn’t how how to style it — I cut it way too short and I wore it in a ponytail too often — I’ve learned to love my hair. Once I started growing it out, taking care of it and learning how to style it, I began to like the way I looked. I get more compliments on my hair than anything else- in it’s natural state, curled state and straight state. I associate long, healthy hair with femininity, so having my long wavy locks makes me feel like a woman.”

“I have a lot of friends…but I’ve come to realize that my capacity for deep, loving, authentic friendships is pretty huge. Bigger than average, I’d say. I open my heart easily, and have very real, vulnerable relationships with a lot of people. I also feel genuinely loved by them in return.”
