Radical Self Love–AGB Style
“It’s called SELF esteem! It’s the esteem of your mutha fuckin’ self! How did I fuck up how you feel about you?” ~Katt Williams
I thought it was extremely appropriate. You can put beautiful words in place of the cussing but I don’t think this quote would have the same raw impact that it has. Sometimes you have to get a little angry to stomp out the mean little voice in your head that tells you you aren’t good enough. The little voice that tells you you aren’t pretty when you look in the mirror. The little voice that tells you that someone else is better than you.
Its all a bunch of dirty, filthy lies.
Take the gloves off and beat it to a bloody pulp. Put its head on a post and put it in your front lawn to scare away any other mean little voices that might want to bring you down. Go medieval on its ass.
Really, who needs an inner enemy when there are people out there that will try to do that? People who also have that mean voice in their heads will try to make themselves feel better by trying to bring you down too. The mean little voices want to feed off of each other and breed more little mean voices.
You are a force of nature, everyone is. Such power can be intimidating to people that don’t understand it or don’t recognize it in themselves. They’ll say anything to try to take it away from you. Don’t help them along.
Not caring what other people think of me has taken me years. Sometimes I relapse, but I learn something new about myself every time that I snap out of it. I used to truly hate myself. A lot of that had to do with my school years, being impressionable and already lacking in self-esteem, with all of the little bullies. I felt like an alien. I waited for the mother ship to take me back to wherever it was that I came from but they never showed. Apparently they didn’t want me there either.
But at some point in your self-loathing, you need to make a choice. You can either continue feeding the dirty little hater in your head that whispers lies to you, or put a .45 to its head1. Its your call.
This post was inspired by Gala Darling’s “Radical Self Love” theme for February, plus I’ve been wanting to share that Katt Williams quote.

Haha I’ve been feeling good about myself, but then I meet a pretty girl and all of a sudden I’ll never be as good as her…

I love you I love you I love you. Between this post and showing your twitterboobs earlier, I’d say you definitely win the internet for the day.
Yaaay!

“You are a force of nature, everyone is. Such power can be intimidating to people that don’t understand it or don’t recognize it in themselves. They’ll say anything to try to take it away from you. Don’t help them along.” This was so beautiful! Thank you.

It took me the 28 years of my lifetime to figure that out. That I can CHOOSE to be self-conscious and self-loathing. It’s all a choice. With anything it takes practice. You’re not just going to wake up one day and be all “YAY ME!”. It takes work and correcting your entire way of thinking. It’s not easy either…it’s like anything your not used to, working out, eating well…you have to retrain your brain!

God I love this. Kat Williams gets me through the day sometimes…especially his “Haters” one. It’s SO true, we have to love ourselves-how do we expect anyone else to if we cant.
