The One Thing I've Learned About Life...

...It Goes On!

I was always one of those girls who had low self esteem and no self confidence what so ever. I never thought I was good enough for people and always settled for people and things that I shouldn't have. I was never one of those really girly girls. I wasn't blessed with the fashion gene. I can't do hair or make up to save my life. I was always the tom boy growing up, the son my Daddy never had. Compliments never made me happy, they actually made me quite mad. I always thought people were just lying to make me feel better. I was never skinny as a rail, so I thought I wasn't pretty enough. 

But as I grew up, and have found myself.. I see that I was absolutely stupid. None of the things that I thought before were true. Now don't get my wrong, I'm not conceited in any way, shape, or form. But I've learned that life isn't about living to impress others or making others happy. The only person in life that you should ever try to impress is yourself. Do what makes you happy. 

I may not be a girly girl, but I'm the best of both worlds. I can get dirty without fussing about it and break a nail and not care. But I can also get all dressed up and fancy when I need to be. I may not be able to do make up, but I don't want to be one of those girls with 2 lbs of make up on my face. I'd rather throw on some mascara and eyeliner and go about my day. I may not be skinny as a rail, but I'm ok with that. I don't want to just be a bag of bones.  And being the tom boy of the bunch is never a bad. I tend to impress with my skills in throwing a football. 

Like I said.. Life goes on. If something happens I don't dwell on it anymore. There's no reason to beat yourself up over things you can't control. You live and you learn. Never regret anything in life, because at one time you it made you smile.

When you learn to love yourself, you can finally be happy with your life. And I can honestly say that I'm glad I found myself and can enjoy life to the fullest now. 

I know this isn't an average post for me, but it's really hit me lately how much I love my life... and how far I've come with being comfortable in my own skin. 

Just venting. :)
