You Are Beautiful

It saddens me to see what the media and pop culture has done

to the self-esteem of my generation.

This notion that you must be pencil thin and perfect

at all times is too much for the average person to keep up with.

I have never been and never will be pencil thin or perfect in anyway,

but I am comfortable with who I am.

I have been eating healthier and getting in some extra exercise,

but there is nothing wrong with being HEALTHY,

not going to the extreme of eating disorders.

When I lived in Pensacola there was a movement called You Are Beautiful.

Random people would paint, write or find some creative way to display the phrase,

where the public could see.

It was awesome to drive down the road and look up and see

You Are Beautiful.

Looks are not everything

and we as a generation need to stand up

and encourage, reassure and tell everyone

that they are beautiful in one way or another!

Beauty comes from the inside,

and there is nothing more attractive than a person with a beautiful heart and mind.

Remember:

There is a big difference in being healthy and trying to look like the people on the covers of magazines.

Hopefully the media will smarten up and see what they are doing

to the very easily molded minds of the public!

You Are Beautiful!

LOVE Y'ALL!!!
