I guess I should start explaining this blog… 

I have created this to express myself. I need to be honest with myself and those around me. I need to love and accept myself for who I am. I cannot let the shame in my life hide the real me. Any shame I feel can actually be used to help others. That is my desire. I hope I can help you. I hope to help you understand who I am. I hope I can make you understand we all struggle, so we are not alone. I have all of you. You all have me. 

At the start of the year I claimed that 2015 was going to be my year. It did not start off that way. There was a lot of obstacles that I faced; one of them was clearly learning to love myself. I have been lagging on making 2015 my year. It is about time I start making it my year. I think as of March 1, 2015, the year 2015 became my year. I claimed it as mine. 

Come what may. I count everything I know as lost. The person I once was no longer is, she was fake. Time to bring out the person I was called to be. Amy Lynette Lopez needs to make her debut. This is it. I am falling in love with myself.

I will do my very best to keep up with this. I will do my very best to be unreserved. I will do my very best to lay it all out for you.

Yesterday on Instagram, I decided to post my struggles of loving myself. If you are reading this and you commented or sent me whatever message, THANK YOU. Your kind words are forever engraved in my heart. I love you all. You are all so precious. Thank you for your support. 

To those who struggle with themselves:

It is absolutely difficult to love yourself. It is a process. You have to trust. Be vulnerable. Be honest. Be giving. You were created with a purpose. It gets better. You are loved. You are precious. You are priceless. You are not alone. YOU MATTER. 

Sincerely,
Amy
