LAUREN
"I think the most important thing is being comfortable in yourself. Growing up I was bullied for looking the way I do and considered changing my appearance. Instead, I carried on because I realised this is just who I am. Self love is being content, healthy and being the person you are."
ANDY
"I think as a guy, self love is about accepting the way you look and how your body looks; no matter how thin/big/short/tall you are. There is pressure on guys to look 'buff' sometimes and go to the gym but it's more important how you are as a person than how you look physically."
ADAM, LEON, ANON
ADAM:
"For the past 5 years I was in and out of relationships. It may sound corny but now I feel I am in a relationship with myself and am doing things I want to do. In relationships I always compromised and ensured I was making my partner happy rather than myself. Now, If I want to change my hair I will. If I want to do something I will and I am much happier as I've found myself. Two of my favourite quotes are:
"If you don't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?" -Ru Paul
& "You already are what you are and what you are is beautiful"- Jewel
LEON:
"Self love is believing in yourself no matter what. You are your own biggest fan."
ANON:
"Life is like a glass... full is better."

SHARON & JULIAN
SHARON:
"Life is really precious. Enjoy and be thankful. There are people who are really struggling. Look to them and know that you are lucky...to be alive!"
JULIAN:
"Understanding that whatever I do is what a woman does. Nobody else, not society, not any man tells me what it means to be a woman."

WHAT DOES SELF LOVE MEAN TO YOU?
HEATHER, IRENE & JOAN
"Friendship. We have been friends since the age of 5!"
NAZIA
"I think we all have moments where you scroll through Instagram and see pretty girls and want to look like them. Self love is believing you're beautiful and not caring about other's opinions."
AALIYAH & REJOICE
"Self love to us is when our eyebrows work in the morning!"
WILLOW
"Chase your dreams."
SHERAYNE, SOMMER & SKYE
SHERAYNE:
"Not all models are telling you to be beautiful."
SOMMER:
"Beauty has no weight limit."
SKYE:
"Putting on your make up and feeling confident in your skin."

HUMAIRA
"I tell myself that self love is loving yourself from within. I agree you can scroll through Instagram and want to look like other girls but it's the inner that counts."
WILLIAM
"Don't worry, everyones unique! Everyone is different in so many ways so don't change yourself for anyone!"
HARRY
"Life is like a box of chocolates but you're a galaxy!"
CELIA & LON
CELIA:
"Believing in your own capabilities. Having faith in yourself. If you can't love yourself, it makes it hard to love others."
LON:
"Self love is acceptance of yourself and what you cannot change about yourself. I have a large ginger beard and enjoy cultivating it."
