| But recently I've been really liking Kelly Clarkson. Yeah, I know, lame. However, I seem to be feeling a bit of me in her songs. I can relate, you know? A lot of things have been going on in my life lately. I've been growing up a little bit, and it's not easystreey. I just hope that someday I'll be able to make it a little less painful for the teens in my life. Right now, God's trying to teach me some valuable life lessons, like I'm not the one who can fix everyone's problems, and I am a really selfish brat. I hope that since I've figured this out, I'll be able to let God change me, from the inside out. News flash: I feel beautiful. I really do. Now, I'm not trying to be vain, really. It's just something I've struggled with for a long time, not feeling beautiful. Then one day, I looked at myself and thought, "hmm... I'm really not that bad looking! I feel beautiful today." Ever since then, I've been coming into myself, realizing that who I am is ok for me. this is good, I think. So thanks, to all the people who've been trying to hammer this into my brain for my whole life. I've also realized that beauty is not just about the outside. Now that I feel more confident and comfortable with myself, it shows. That's one way to be beautiful from the inside out. To all my friends, you are beautiful people. Not just on the outside, but through-n-through. I love you all. miss Maribelle |
