Keeping our Heads Up

Don't you just hate it when you meet a friend you haven't seen in a long time, and he or she makes a negative comment about your body? You don't feel so good about seeing them do you? It's unfortunate, but we Filipinos have this destructive habit of making all kinds of comments about other people's bodies. And it's not just people who are close to you  who do it; even people you barely know. It's bad enough that other people can be vocal about how you look, but it is worse when you make negative statements about your own body. You can be your worst enemy. This can be as damaging to our self-esteem as when someone else  does it. You shouldn't allow other people to make hurtful comments about your physical appearance, but neither should you allow yourself to do the same thing. We cannot always control what other do, but we definitely have control over what we do. Never give that click here button for people to put you down.
