accepting you

     accepting yourself for how you are is probably one of the hardest things a girl has to overcome. we constantly wish there was something different about us or that we had a certain skill or maybe looked different. we worry what people think of us, how they view us--when in reality they are probably worrying about what you think of them. we convince ourselves that we aren't good enough, pretty enough, skilled enough, and that our flaws outweigh our good. the thing is--we aren't perfect, but no one is!
     i guess i write about this topic a lot because i need it myself. it's hard to remember that we are made exactly how we're suppose to be. God created a masterpiece when he made us & if he wouldn't have wanted us to have freckles or red hair or brown hair, He wouldn't have made us like that. we are His daughters and He loves us exactly for how we look and who we are. the outward appearance isn't even the important part. the one thing we should be worried about changing if it has flaws is our personality and character. that's what defines us. this is said so often but people need to hear it until they believe it. our life will be much happier & fulfilling when we accept ourselves exactly the way we are. after all, God does & that's what counts! :)
