*insert Cliche'd title about self-love here*

as young people, Girls especially, it is crammed in our head from birth to death -- BE YOURSELF!

am i right?

your parents, your teachers, your youth leaders, all of tween t.v. tells us that no one can be us as good as us.
Doesn't it seem like every person who says these types of things has it "all together"? i mean, OBVIOUSLY, Justin Bieber would tell us to be ourselves and all this stuff cuz he's GOT it all. WHO WOULDN'T wanna be bieber?  except every girl in the world.(because of course they want to be WITH bieber. oh Gomez, you lucky girl)
my point is this:
it's hard for us "normies"(normal people who SEEMINGLY  have nothing extraordinary going for them) to embrace and love ourselves because there aren't many "normies" ACTUALLY doing that, or promoting that message. the message we want to believe is coming from people we want to be. so it's hard for us to believe we are special.

or maybe it's just me? am i THAT big of a looser? PLS tell me you identify with what i'm saying?
YOU DO! whew! okk, let's me finish:)
i dont even remember what i was.... oh yea. Justin Bieber. lol. that's not right , it is?

Let me ask you a question?
Why don't you feel special?
WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO PLEASE!?
Could it be that you feel like you're coming up short because your audience is wrong? (ok, that was 3)

Here is my secret to a standing ovation:
Choose your audience wisely!
When i write these blogs, or record vlogs,(that no one reads or watches... i promise i'm a normie) my audience consists of ONE person, and IF i please Him... i get a standing ovation. raving reviews. a unanimous two thumbs up! the best best form of success anyone can reach.(wait, does God have thumbs?)

Aim to please God and God alone.
That's the ONLY WAY to be happy with Yourself and the things you do.
and once you do Justin Bieber's(or whoever else) life  won't look so appealing.
You will be comfy in your own skin.
after all, that's where you are meant to be.
