No better you than you

For those that don't know me I love to write, and my mum says I'm pretty good at it too. I had the opportunity to people watch yesterday out of boredom, and it made me ponder many things. I looked back upon my short existence; and the phase in which I was bullied. Then, I also thought about what I have been taught my entire life; we are all children of God..... And so, after two full hours of observation and thoughtfulness I had an epiphany and was filled with inspiration to write what you are about to read:

Considering its February let's talk about love, however I'm not talking about the gross mushy couple kind of love, a different kind of love, love for yourself!

Always be yourself, and don't worry about what others say about you, because even if you were perfect people would still find a way to judge you! Unfortunately, this is what the world has come to, you have to be a certain type of person to be accepted into society, a society in which being yourself is regrettable and unusual. They say "be yourself and people will one day accept you for who you are". Accept? The word accepted is being used in the same phrase as an individual, an individual with feelings and emotions. Last time I checked acceptance is in the dictionary stated to mean; to receive in approval and favour. Why, is it that human beings need approval, in order to be individual?! If you can't impress someone by being yourself, you really think you will impress them by being fake?

Something that sickens me is that society has made women believe that for them to be pretty, they need to be a certain size, or to look a certain way. Make-up doesn't make you pretty, being yourself makes you BEAUTIFUL. Being raised in the gospel of Jesus Christ I was taught to always be myself, to be an example and to stand up and shine forth, to let the inside you make the outer you stand out. Be true to yourself and to your feelings; those are the only two things in your life that will never lie to you! YOU should NEVER lie to you!

Be Yourself. You are special and unique in your own ways. Never change for someone. If they can't accept you, then they don't deserve you. Stand tall and be proud of what you are. Never back down from what you believe in. And never be ashamed of who you are. I may not be the prettiest, the skinniest or the sexiest. But I am however the nicest, the kindest and at times even the most profound person you WILL ever meet. I have something to share that has become so rare now a days... the concept of unconditional love, honesty, kindness and care. I am simple but complicated, perfect but imperfect. Sometimes, I wonder if I am fooling myself for being so patient and understanding. But I continue to do it anyway, because it is what makes me happy. It makes me, me. I am original, unique, and one of a kind. I am who I am, I don't sugar coat, I say what is on my mind, But if you are lucky to meet me you have found a rare find.

Now I'm not saying this cause I think I'm better than anyone else, this is not what I'm trying to imply! It has come to my realisation that so many people now a days are so fake it's hard to tell who's real anymore. So let's be real, I'm not missing out.. YOU are. And i realise that sometimes the hardest part of the journey is believing that you're worthy of the trip. This is due to society and what it plants into our heads. You think to yourself at times "I may not be good enough in others' eyes" but you must understand that the only thing that matters is God's eyes, and God thinks Your pretty darn special, so it really doesn't matter what others think. Be bold, be true, be kind, be you! Cause there's no better you, than you!
