Okay, I have some "issues" I have to settle. It's about, well, it's about…my body issues. I feel sometimes that I'm not taking care of myself properly (especially during this period). So I'm writing down the problems of my body - or so I think. Here goes… 1. Un-fair skin (I didn't mean to write it that way) fair=white+ un=un-fair 2. Imperfect feet (I know There's no such thing as perfect but I want mine to look good, but that's the problem, I have, well, let's see, I have bunions, corns, well I don't have callus or clavi (thank God) but my feet look messy and untidy because of them. 3. Yellowish teeth- okay, I brush regularly but I don't know how to get rid of it. It's irritating! ugghh >:(((… 4. Bad hair - yeah, I know! My hair is frizzy, as if it has been electrocuted by some sort of wiring or thunder…My hair looks like it's sort of wavy-which tends to frizz a lot! And it's shoulder length as of now. (By the way, my hair is sort of poofy) (It's nighttime at 11:30 pm so I have to continue this tomorrow) (I'm placing a boundary) --- Okay it's me again! wheeeee :) I'm just kidding - this is my journal right? :D? Joke! Okay I'll continue what I wrote yesterday about body issues… 5. Chubby legs - Okay, this is the first (I think) body issue that I first noticed when I first came through puberty. I think grade 4 or grade 5! It's annoying me until now - I just look at them and feel disappointed sometimes. It makes me sad to think that I can't be confident - especially my skinny-perfect-looking classmates (some of them) notice mine and say that they're so gigantic and enormous. GINORMOUS! ( why didn't I think of that) Joke. Some of them say that they're like tree trunks. Sometimes I do fall for their hurtful remarks, but I have a goal to shape them one day, they will become what I've always dreamed of. Well, I don't know when this will actually happen. But I'm determined! 6. Chubby thighs - This is just like my "chubby legs" issue except that it's focused on my thighs. end of discussion! (for this number only) 7. Posture - okay, this is easy to solve. I shall just keep my head high and chin up- not really high, high up! And great out, yup, that's all I need to do. But why is it bothering me, ohhh, it's because I look weird when I slouch and stoop down. I tell you, this is easier to solve than the rest of them! Okay, maybe I'll still have some body issues as I continue to grow up, but as for now, I'll have a conclusion. Conclusion: I therefore conclude that nobody's perfect. Get it? I mean there are a lot of pre-teen or teen-aged girls like me who have lots of body issues compared to me. Even the prettiest, most beautiful, perfect looking woman on earth is likely to have some insecurities. But I know, that God designed and fashioned us uniquely and wonderfully, in His image! He saw our unformed body, even in the lowest parts of the earth! How wonderful is that! But why do I always (or sometimes) complain and become discouraged about my body? Oh, maybe it's because the media and television tell us that this look or fad is "in". They praise and give glory to the perfect-looking, beautiful, perfect body-shaped women and girls, but they don't pay attention to the average, plain-looking women or women who practically don't have beauty at all. They don't know that a real woman's beauty is her character. They think that they have to do everything they can - even making them unnatural in ways like, plastic surgery, nose lift, skin bleaching, and many others that I don't know about. A real woman's beauty can be defined in many ways, it doesn't matter if you're chubby or fat, dark-skinned, or just playing ugly (it means that you think you are ugly but you aren't) But they are thinking that they are really and ugly and have low self-esteem that makes them act ugly, feel, ugly, and even look ugly because of stress). A real woman's beauty is defined in God's Word. God said that beauty is fleeting and charm is deceitful , but a W-O-M-A-N, yes, that refers to me and all the other girls in the world, that FEARS the LORD, is beautiful! This is my conclusion, and I'll try to stick to it that outward beauty does not matter! But that doesn't mean that I won't take care of myself properly. There are a lot of things that I want to say, but I shall say that I am beautiful the way God created me! And that's all there is when it comes to beauty.
