A girl I know posted this on her Facebook wall:
“I might not be someone’s first choice, but I’m a great choice.” which is true, she is a great person!
“I may not be rich, but I am valuable.” Again, true. Have you seen that post going around about how you might be de-valuing yourself and marking down your “price” because of low self esteem? That’s a good one, too.
“I don’t pretend to be someone that I’m not because I’m pretty great at being ME.” Ya know, almost everyone pretends to be someone they are not on the first couple of dates. They shine their shoes and carefully choose their clothes – even coordinating underwear, shave their legs (girls) or face (guys, I hope), fuss over their hair and all – and then after the deal is sealed they shower less, toss the makeup, wear XXL teeshirts and sweatpants and get fat. Its human nature and I fight that instinct every day.
“I might not be perfect, but I don’t need to be. Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.” Exactly.
