One Aspect Of Me I Wish I Could Change: Embracing my Uniqueness.

Hello everyone in the #HiveNaijaCommunity. I am pleased to participate once again in this week’s prompt. So I will be talking about that one aspect of me I could change or wish was a little different. When I saw this topic I kept asking myself certain questions as to which physical feature I would wish to be different or I wish could change.

I noticed there was none at all. I had grown above wanting to change my physical features. I realized I am unique in my own way. I was perfectly and beautifully created. A Lot of people have found it hard to accept the way we were created. Just a few days ago I learnt of a promising lady who killed herself all because she wanted to have a big butt by going for BBL and unfortunately she lost her life. If she had accepted that she was unique even with the small butts she would still be living by now. We have tried severally to change our physical features, maybe because we see others doing it or because you have had some people laugh at you for trying to be you, just the way you are. Until you believe that you are unique just the way you are you will still wish there are aspects of your physical features you can change.

Before now I used to complain about my height. I used to have low self esteem considering the fact that I am a briefly beautiful young lady. This made me stay confined to my space. I found it difficult to mingle with people. I just felt I was less of a person because I was brief and people kept seeing me as a child. This particular feature about me reduced my self esteem. In school this part of me dealt hardly with that even when I had an answer to a question in class I could not voice out. For fear of being laughed at or being teased by my classmates because of my height. I always wished I could grow taller than the way I am.

As I kept living my life praying and hoping there was something to do to make me grow taller than this, I happened to meet a lady just as brief as I am during one of the conferences I attended and she happened to share her own story and how she managed to come out of the mindset that short people cannot stand out. Sincerely that was the first day I began to accept my height and from that day I kept telling myself you are unique just the way you are. I started accepting myself and I started loving myself. I started coming out of my shell. I started believing in my strength and uniqueness.

There are many physical features we cannot change , we only have to accept ourselves the way we are. While embracing our uniqueness, believing that however we are, we are capable, strong, and enough and always celebrating our individuality, and never comparing ourselves to others.
