Don't Be Afraid of Your Beauty

I've never met a person who wasn't completely beautiful

Don't Be Afraid of Your Beauty
Jean-Pierre Brungs

Inner beauty is so valuable to us, but not talked about enough. Seeing the beauty in ourselves. Many times that beauty is the what people already see. No one scrutinizes our flaws more than ourselves and that may be hard to believe; but many times we can be our own bully.

It's okay to admit that you might be having trouble with a positive perception on how you look. Many times we feel like we don't meet the standard of how society would like us to look. We might feel too skinny, too fat. It's okay to reach out for support and positive affirmation from your family and friends that come in all shapes and sizes. You're allowed to love how you look.

Everyone's experiences are unique, but I think that it is important to acknowledge that they ARE all unique. We should be able to talk to each other, try to understand what each of us is going through and see if we can figure out what we can do to make those struggles easier.

In the end our differences, our flaws, our individual body shapes: that's what makes us beautiful. Each line, each stretch mark, each roll, each hair, whatever moles or freckles, whatever the disability, whatever the pigmentation; they should be embraced! They shouldn't be things we are ashamed of.

Yes, that is easier said than done. So many are trying each and every day to love themselves. To look in the mirror, and appreciate themselves. All of themselves.

My main point is: if you have think thighs or skinny thighs, a big butt or a small butt; your body is beautiful. People do see the beauty in it. If you want to lose weight or gain weight, lose muscle or gain muscle, grow your hair out or shave your hair, become more masculine or become more feminine, whatever! That's great! Just as long as it is your decision, you're doing it for yourself and no one else.

Don't let anyone feel less than the beautiful person that you are because I assure you their opinion does not matter. I don't think I've ever seen one person that wasn't completely beautiful. Fella's, you too. Don't be afraid of being called beautiful.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
