I learned a lot of important lessons during this time, and while this might not be a chapter I should read out loud, I'd like to write about it a little bit.

It's so so so important to do things for you. You shouldn't start exercising because you want to look good for someone; you should want to look good for you and be healthy. You shouldn't wear makeup for anyone besides yourself; wear it for you. You should want to work on your own goals for yourself. While it's helpful to get input from others like friends and loved ones, at the end of the day, you are the one that must be happy with yourself.

I believe that everyone should take a chapter, or even just a few pages to themselves. You should be the heroine and main character of your own story. You should take some time to save yourself and get to know yourself. You should let yourself define you and not anyone else. You can work towards your own goals and do them for you.
