you're beautiful!

so you know what's annoying? something that has been annoying for awhile is when people say things about themselves that aren't true. or saying something about them that they want to change. everyone is beautiful in their own way, and they shouldn't put themselves down for stupid reasons.

the pictures above are my friends emmy and alexandra (and i) and last May we went to Panera and then we went to Ross and wanted to get bikinis for fun, so we did! then we got home, put them on and ran around in the sprinkler. it was sooo fun and we all learned that bikinis are awesome. now i wear them all the time (as i said in another post). at first emmys mom said she couldn't wear them, but now her mom said she could wear them if she feels comfortable. she wore it to her school trip to Williamsburg, which is awesome! and i think she slowly is thinking about wearing it, but she also talks about her "flabby body" and "fat stomach" UGH in the first bathing suit picture, emmy is the one on the right in the shorts... she calls THAT fat?! what. the. heck.

another thing is when people complain about their hair. i have to admit, i would like to have curly hair, but my hair has a nice wave to it, so i don't mind. but emmy is getting a perm which she clearly doesn't need. if you look at the picture above she is on the right. do you think she needs a perm?? no. same with abby below. she wants curly or wavy hair. look at her hair! that's her natural hair! people would pay to have hair like that. it's so straight! she says "it just sits their like barf on my head." ummm what. the. heckkk.

finally, abby and emmy both complain about their "acne". do you see any acne on their face?? they say they need cover up and when i say i'm not wearing any cover up they are like "what??" and i'm like YOU DON'T NEED IT EITHER.

oh my gosh seriously... these 2 girls are gorgous and don't need to worry about their weight, hair, or "acne".

that's why i say "you're beautiful all the time". once in 7th grade all the girls went to this thing and you had to turn to the person next to you and say "you're beautiful" then turn to the person behind you and say "you're beautiful" then say to yourself "i'm beautiful". i thought it was stupid at first, but now i realize their point. more girls in this world need to know that they are beautiful. nobody needs to be spray tanned or go to a tanning bed or put themselves down because of their abilities.

that's another quick thing: emmy tells my friend alexandra that she's so jealous of her singing (because alexandra is an awesome singer; she's singing this song in the talent show! i picked it out for her :) i think it fits her SO WELL) and wishes she could sing like that and has no singing skills and stuff, but emmy is incredible at sports!! she plays like 20 million sports and people are jealous of that. ughuguh

to all the girls out there YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, and you need to say that to yourself.
the first picture is actually what i have hanging on my mirror. however creepy that is, YOU SHOULD DO IT TOO.

p.s. there is a thunder storm right now and i'm trying to enjoy it because it's cool, but thunder gives me the creeps, so we'll see how it goes. haha!
