You are all driving me nuts.
Well, ok, not ALL of you but most of you.
Want to know what the secret to being happy is?
You.
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt
This applies to those of you that are single and unhappy about it.
Learn to live, why don't you.
If your not happy now, what makes you think that being with someone will suddenly make you happy?
Focus on the within...not the things you are without.
You are beautiful
And I MEAN that!
Spend some time with yourself and learn to love who you are
(notice how I didn't say puff your chest out and being self-centered)
There is a difference.
It's ok to stand up for what you believe and keep your standards
believe it or not, guys like that.
The way you portray yourself (dress, attitude, etc) is the kind of people that your going to attract.
So all of you that think you need to hide yourself behind pounds of makeup and the latest, greatest fashion/hussy clothing..
you don't.
You do not want a guy that just likes you for your body/looks.
"Why blend in when you were born to stand out?"
When I was younger I was self-conscious, low self-esteem, and shy.
I would've done anything to fit in just so that I didn't do something dumb being against the 'norm'.
I didn't think I was pretty, smart, or cool.
But that changed when someone (a boyfriend actually) said,
"No matter what I seem to say it still doesn't make you happy. That confidence needs to come from YOU."
Yes, I was one of those girls. Yuck.
rude..a little. But right...a lot.
"If you try to be like someone else you can only be as good as them, but who knows how far you can go." (at the top of my page ^)
So I changed.
I didn't wait for someone to make me happy...I DECIDED to be happy just the way I am.
I love my undyed blonde hair, I like having long legs that are so unique no one makes clothing for them...haha ok that was a stretch but you get the point.
Be who you are and love it.
Whatever it is you do, do it well.
"Whatever you are, be a good one." -Abe Lincoln
Ok so this was kind of longer than I thought but it's something that I feel strongly about.
I'm sick of reading blog posts, facebook statuses complaining about how boys are dumb and they make you unhappy.
I'm going to do a part II to this telling you my feelings/advice on boys/relationships.
But this I think is important for all you females to hear.
Leave a comment below/contact me through facebook and I will honestly tell you what makes you beautiful.
Honest to goodness.
I wish you knew how serious I was when I say...Every one of you are beautiful.
And what makes all of you beautiful is not because you are one of a million
but because you are one in a million.
Love,
Marlisa Anne
