My Skin's Journey : Need Motivation?

Ever since I started my blog, I would always include some sort of motivational quote at the end of each post. Since this is my documentation of my skin's "journey," I wanted to add these types of quotes at the end of each post in order to spark a sense of motivation into whoever is reading. I have to admit that sometimes my acne/acne scarring can get the better of me but I have to remember that it's just acne/acne scarring. Neither define me as a person nor do they determine the outcomes in my life. Searching for motivational quotes and incorporating them into my blog posts helps me to stay motivated through not only my skin's journey, but life's journey. I have included all of the quotes that I include in my weekly blog posts on this page for anyone who is interested. There are also a few of my favourite motivational YouTube videos listed below as well!
Happy scrolling/viewing!
