Do you consider yourself confident? Self-assured?? Beautiful??? I do.
I'm not trying to come off conceited...I just feel that every girl should feel this way about themselves.
But even though I tell myself that I am these things, somewhere in the back of my mind or maybe even my heart, I don't believe it. I didn't even realize this until today when I cried as my mom told me I was beautiful.
My mother was giving me encouragement on career searching and I told her that I had some image concerns. (Me being a plus sized girl in the fashion industry isn't very standard and not favorable to most.) My mother told me that it doesn't matter what size I am... "You are BEAUTIFUL", she said. Now this isn't something she hasn't said before but, as the lump in my thoroat grew larger and the tears came rolling down my face I realized that somewhere along the line...I stopped believing it. All the stylish clothes [which I love buying], and pretty pictures [which I love taking] didn't mean a thing.
Now the purpose of this post isn't to boost my ego or exalt myself. It is to tell all of my sisters of every type this: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. [and don't you forget it!]
Don't let any person, blog, magazine, celebrity, doctor or, any other obstacle, tell you different! And I'm not just talking about outward appearance. This all may sound cliche but I truly mean it with no "corn" intended. Show your personality, let it speak without words...Let your beauitful confidence out. It wants to shine!! All sizes, races, nationalities & ages...I'm speaking to you and don't forget it. I'm hoping that me sharing this personal moment really does impact someone.
Moral: Don't ever let yourself feel "unpretty".
[You know I had to do it... =P....but in all seriousness, listen to the chorus.]
Luv ya!
