The only person standing between us and our perfect selves is, well, us. There’s absolutely no reason for us to be our own personal bullies, so instead, we need to start loving and cheering ourselves on. If at any point you start feeling bad about yourself, we want you to take a look at the people below and realize that you hold all the power to give your life a complete 180.
Bright Side is shining a spotlight on people who rediscovered themselves and can teach us all the beauty of self-love.
1. “Even my behavior changed and now people take me more seriously.”
2. “I made it! Survived my 3-year massive depression cycle and a brain tumor diagnosis in the middle. Now celebrating life.”

10. “Achieved by addressing mental health and cutting out useless processed foods.”
11. “I get a lot of people claiming the before photo is not me.”
