Today my friend asked me a question.
"Em, if there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?"
I thought really hard about it but then told myself to stop. I am content with who i am so why focus on the negative? Well that mindset worked for about 10 min.
Later i found myself in front of my full length mirror. I was just looking. Looking and pondering.
What would i change?
Would it be my eyes?
What about making my hair more straight?
I would love it if i was tanner.
I also don't like my thunder thighs.
How about my freckles. Nasty.
What about the huge gap in my two front teeth?
I could gain a few inches &&
i would love it if my stomach was flatter.
so quickly i can find things wrong with me. But think about it, is that healthy? NO! it is so unhealthy and wrong.
Shoot, i love my hazel eyes.
i love that i can rock the afro.
i love the fact I've never had a sun burn.
i like having some meat on my bones. It makes my pants fit better.
My freckles make me who i am.
Same with my gap.
I am who i am. I wouldn't change a thing about myself and i encourage you to think about this. When you look at something with a negative mindset you will only get negative results. But if you look again, you never know what might happen.
my dear Emily....
