For Someone

This post has been done by millions of people.
Nothing ever changes.
But I don't feel like it is pointless to write...
-----------------------------------------------------------

You will still be ridiculed for your body. Your shape. The perfect flesh and blood God put you in.
It won't matter what I write on here.
It's going to happen. 
What WILL matter, is opening and eye or two to see that you're more than what they say you are. 
You're perfect.

We live in a publicly private world. 
Publicly, we ridicule others or are ridiculed ourselves, every day.
Privately, we cry.
We over analyze the words we've heard throughout the day, making ourselves mentally sick over how we've heard we look.

We hear words.
Look in the mirror.
Maybe shed a tear, maybe not.
Stuff ourselves to gain weight,
or starve ourselves to loose it.
Only for the hopes that whoever sees you that day will be happy with how you look.
After all, it doesn't matter how you think you look, right?

Wrong.
So, so wrong.

I worry about the young girls who are growing up in this world.
People are so judgmental.
Why can't people say things like, "You're beautiful" "Those eyes are amazing" "You're so caring"...things that are positive and lift the spirit?  

But it's not just the girls, it's the boys too.
Boys are often forgotten when it comes to body image, self esteem, confidence.  Why? Because they're supposed to be strong and unbreakable. 
They break, too.

I'll be the one to say, "You're beautiful"
I'll be the one to say, "Those eyes are amazing"
I'll be the one to say, "You're so caring"

I hope you will as well.
It takes one cruel word to break the spirit, and a million to tape together the broken pieces.




We all need to remind ourselves of this::



Peace&Love
