Validation

I am beginning to wonder why I even write in this thing. Oh yeah, its for me. I saw a post yesterday with a picture that  really struck a chord.... here it is....

Why must we always have a reason to look pretty? To go walk? To make ourselves look nice? Society tells us that we have to look pretty or be thin for us to be validated and have self worth. Yes, it is nice to have someone compliment us on our appearance... but you should do it for you! Not for anyone else. Not to please someone else. I will admit, I am guilty of this because I always think " If i was just a bit more this or that he would love me more"

Do not get me wrong. I love myself. But I am human. I have insecurities just like everyone else. I have had not nice things said to me, about me, done to me. But I am still a amazing human being. I get down. I have bad days. I keep going.

So do not just do something to get someone's attention, to feel validated, you already ARE. Go put on that red lipstick and those boots and work it b/c you already ARE IT!
