Today
I wondered why my eyelashes aren’t thick enough and why my feet aren’t
small enough. Then it hit me. Why do we take these insignificant things
like millimeters on lashes and shoe boxes and then try to fit ourselves
into those stupid molds? Why do I take the beauty that is me, and
measure it up to a shoe size? A length of hair on my eyes? Am I not the
more wonderful creation, far more great than those stupid things? Why do
we take ourselves and desecrate ourselves daily? Pushing ourselves into
cubicles because we think we are supposed to fit into them? Are we ice
cubes? And suddenly I just don’t understand the inadequacies anymore! Because they’re not even inadequacies, at all! I will laugh and be beautiful.

November, I joined the SuperSale Bazaar and my FOSSIL, Dominique and I
had a booth so we decided to drop by and to go for support. (After all,
my really good friends are the organizers and I just really love the
brands that joined…) But anyway, it was a weekend and I could dress
whatever way I wanted to so I decided to dress up in red, white and
blue. I must say that I was feeling a tad patriotic that day which
explains the red, white and blue ensemble. I decided to go for the
cropped top and pencil skirt route even if I don’t have the presence of
“curves” in my body because well, I love breaking rules and I don’t care
really as I don’t change myself to fit in to the clothes but the
clothes have to adapt to fit to me. So I decided that since it has been a
long time that I’ve been wanting to wear this outfit, I might as well
go ahead and go for it and I did.

I
used to base my life on numbers and measurements. Of course, that would
be a plus if you want worked in Finance or in a Medical-related field
but for the day to day basis… Not so much of a good thing. I think
it’s important to love oneself as is. Happiness is not about what shows
on the scale, or what size you wear for your clothes. It’s all about
finding beauty in yourself and believing yourself to know that you are
more than enough… You’re beautiful. Don’t let anyone tell you
otherwise!
