It really saddens me that some of the most beautiful people second guess themselves because of others. Just because others see you differently doesn't make you any less fabulous. Society is set up to make us feel as though we have to be perfect but no one is. No one will ever be blessed enough to be excepted fully by everyone. No matter who you please, in spite of who embraces your talent and beauty, there will be someone who has an issue. Since this is our reality, why not cut the middle men(women) out and opt to just be happy on your own terms. Except the reality of your existence and be as fabulous as God intended for you to be.
I know that people see me as this strong, confident, beautiful intelligent woman(well that what I have been told). However, I have not always been this way. I went through a period in which I thought I was ugly, fat and unworthy of any thing great. I felt as though I had no purpose. I literally had to learn to love myself. I had to come to terms with the reality of my existence. I had to stand face to face with myself. I know that sounds easy but it is not. In no way is it easy to dissect yourself, but that is exactly what I did. I opened myself up and extracted both the good and the bad and then analyzed it. Some of the things that I thought were bad were good, and some of the things I thought were good were bad. Of course the good needed no adjusting but the bad had to be reckoned with. Why was I mean? Why was I a fighter? Why was I depressed? Why was I sad? What I came up with was probably the same thing many of you would come up with if you did the same.... It is not you that has made you second guess yourself, it is society.
Society has made us believe so many lies and these lies ultimately tear us down. You know what I mean.......... if you aren't a size 3 you are fat, and if you are fat you are worthless. If you don't look a certain way, you are ugly or if you don't have certain material items you are irrelevant. However, as I said before, these are all lies!!! You don't have to conform to be beautiful, all you have to do is BE.
Stop letting others make you feel like your not whatever it is that you know you are. If you know that you are a beautiful, intelligent person, be that person. Be bold about who you are and what you possess.
If you aren't proud, appreciative or in tune with who are, you can't live...... You just exist. Life is so much happier when you live out loud. Society my have its standards but when you say to the world; this is me, I make no apologies or excuses for who I am, I love that person that I see in the mirror and I am not going away, the world had two options. The first option is to see you for who you are and love you. The second is remain ignorant and closed minded and respect you.
So with all of that being said, in spite of your imperfections....... YOU BETTA WERK!!! Stut as if you are a peacock!! Let the world know, I am here, I am beautiful and I refuse to be denied!!!
