This ones for the girls

We are raised in a society that says if we do not bow up and make a statement of ourselves that we are sexy, desirable, and fierce women, that we are effeminate or that we will never belong with the others. I see alot in you as a little girl that I saw in myself. Wobbly knees, and chicken legs. An eagerness to please others, and timidity when approaching a situation for fear of failure and rejection. Unfortunately, you will learn that rejection is inevitable. We all have to suck at something, pardon my French. For example, I suck at math. I really suck at playing sports. My limbs tend to get all entangled with eachother and it just gets awkward from there on. I really really suck at plucking my eyebrows. I get lazy and I don't find the energy or the vanity to look at myself in the mirror enough to say, "Oh hey, that's almost a unibrow, I should probably do something about that." So don't feel bad. We all have days like that where we get lazy, or we don't feel stunning, and it tears us down. But you can't let it stop you from trying new things and moving on with your life when things don't work out. Never lay down and let the negative things in life do a dance on your back. I'm guilty of that so often. You're like me in the sense that when you get upset, you let it ride you into town and back until you're all out of steam and you hate yourself. I'm not asking you to think you're the greenest grass on God's green earth, I'm asking you to have some pride in what God's given you. I will personally smack you, by the way, if you get cocky about it. I can't stand girls that are pretty and strut around like peacocks. I can already tell that you're going to be tall and skinny like me. Most girls would kill for a figure like that, remember that when you're too small to fit into adult clothes when all your friends can. Remember that when they are running around in bikinis and  have boobs before you. Yours will come in one day, I promise. And don't let mom tell you that you can't be proud of them. Wear that tank top, little sister. Just don't be a hoochie about it. Remember to have class, and elegance. It's such a fading idealism, but trust me, the right guy will respect you and love you for it. Stick to neutrals, I love black in the winter, and white in the summer. A simple pair of diamond studs is always more attractive than big hoops. Flats are always better for your feet and make the guys around you less self conscious. Never throw yourself at a guy, its okay to be flirty, and all. But don't go after him. Most guys already have an ego complex and think they are the... greenest grass on God's green earth, so go for one that is humble enough to realize what a prize you are. Find that happy medium between an egotistical masochist and a humble, confident, and level-headed old soul who knows what he wants in life. Direction is always a wonderful thing in a guy. If he knows what he's doing and chasing his ambitions, he won't have qualms about making a decision about chasing you. I know what my next post will be about... what makes a man.
