Are you older now and did your self esteem fall due to a separation or divorce? If that’s your situation, know you are not alone. Do all you can to shake off the negative feelings you may be experiencing because no man or woman is worth having that kind of power over you.
Do you think the person left because you are older now and not as attractive as you were when you first met? That may be true, but a Yoruba adage states that even though you are older now, you are the same person that turned men’s or women's heads in admiration in your youth. So even if you don’t feel beautiful anymore due to a divorce, especially one induced by the younger and hotter "other woman", again, know you are not alone and be encouraged.
You may not be as young as you were, but you are still beautiful in your own way. Don’t let the worldly way of devaluing the elderly and glorifying youth get to you. You are still so beautiful because beauty is more than skin deep.
Although many people have fallen into the "quick fix surgically induced fountain of youth" trap, which include surgeries to create a “new you” by taking out fat from different parts of the body, injecting chemicals into the body and spending time an after care facility in large amounts of pain, this really isn’t the answer. Be health conscious, but let nature takes its natural course. Do you best to age gracefully naturally and nature will take care of the rest. You don't have to look young forever for people to love and care about you.
Love yourself, because you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Commit your life to HIM, pray often, and surround yourself with loving and kind people. Also, remember that people can only make you feel how you let them.
Stay blessed!
