Let me tell you how I'm embracing my imperfection because I am.
Today, i posted a horrible picture of me from 7th grade. As a 13 year old, i was horrified. I even remember my friend Crystal didn't want it because of how bad it looked.
At 13 i was devastated. At 29. I think it's funny, and I think I was sweet, and clueless and endearing. I guess not much has changed.
Today, i'm embracing 13 year old me, which i don't think I've ever really done. I think she's great, and smart and has a beautiful spirit. She's funny, and reliable and loyal.
I used to think she was fat, and ugly and awkward. Now, I see her potential and i wish i could encourage her.
Today, i went to work wearing no make up. I'm embracing 29 year old me. My skin is still dumb, i'm still chubby, but i'm funny and i like my butt and i feel ok in my skin.
I want to say to me today: It's ok. You're great, and you'll muddle through all that's going on and you'll be just fine.
You need to believe that people love you. That if and when your bottom drops out, there will be people there to help your pick up the pieces. Please stop caring what other people think.
If you're happy, awesome. If you're not. Do something to change it.
there are people standing in the gap for you, too.
and that's what on my mind today. Im real sleepy today.
