YOU ARE.

Finally, I am getting around to writing my first post for this blog. I have put a lot of thought in to what I wanted to write about and though my thought process isn’t totally done I decided to just start typing and see what I come up with. Mostly, I wanted to open this blog with a post simply encouraging you to be who you are and love yourself. And like with most things I have a quote for this: 

"You are not your bra-size, nor are you the width of your waist, nor are you the slenderness of your calves. You are not your hair color, your skin color, nor are you a shade of lipstick. Your shoe-size is of no consequence. You are not defined by the amount of attention you get from males, females, or any combination thereof. You are not the sit-ups you can do, nor are you the number of calories in a day. You are not your mustache. You are not the hair on your legs, You are not a little red dress. You are no amalgam of these things. 

You are the content of your character. You are the ambitions that drive you. You are the goals that you set. You are the things you laugh at and the words you say. You are the thoughts you think and the things you wonder. You are beautiful and desirable not for the clique you attend, but for the spakr of life within you that compels you to make your life a full and meaningful one. You are beautiful not for the shape of the vessel but for the volume of the soul it carries."

This quote says it all. You truly are beautiful for who you are and feeling beautiful about yourself truly starts with being the best you that you can be. It took me a very long time to understand that and I still am not perfect at it. I hope that you are kind to yourself and remember that it isn't the superficial things that make us who we are it is how we think and how we act that will make us truly beautiful.

Any post that I will write after this won’t be to diminish my belief that inner beauty is the most beautiful kind. Simply, I want to help you feel comfortable on the outside and give you knowledge to look your very best. After I learned how to do my hair, my makeup, and take care of myself I felt more confident and it allowed me to be strengthened. I wish the same for you!
