{a better kind of beautiful}

Dear girls, 
 Stop it. 
 Stop despising the way you look. Stop critiquing everything about yourself. Stop looking in the mirror only to cringe and tell yourself that you aren't good enough, aren't thin enough, aren't beautiful enough. 
 Stop wasting time beating yourself up because you don't meet the standards this world pushes us to meet. 
 This world tells us that we must look and act a certain way. It not only fills our eyes and minds with the picture perfect model-like figure and face, but it tells us what we can do to alter ourselves in order to achieve it. We have to wear certain clothes, do our makeup in an all out kind of way, color our hair, pluck our eyebrows, lose weight, gain weight...all to be "acceptable", all to be "beautiful".

People disappoint people. People let other people down. People hurt people.  People are broken and sinful. Parents, siblings, friends, parents of friends, acquaintances, people you don't even know personally but know enough about them (through countless hours of stalking on social media...come on, I can't be the only one) to basically know them...we all have those in our lives who we look up to. We watch and try to imitate the way they live, we listen closely when they talk, we run to them for advice, encouragement and wisdom...these people, in our eyes, seem to have their lives together and are pretty darn close to perfect. We unconsciously put them on a pedestal, wanting to be like them, thinking that they know all, assuming that they don't have struggles, and if they do, then they fix them so easily... Maybe you start reading the books they read, singing the songs they sing, wearing the kind of clothes they wear, praying the way the way they pray, posting the k...
