Try- Colbie Caillat
Colbie Caillat wrote a beautiful song called "Try". In the song it talks about the stereotypes that girls go through. For example, feeling like they have to wear makeup, spending almost all their money on clothes, and a lot more. And you know what? She's right. Girls live with all of this pressure and pain and they should not have to. Another thing that girls do is that they act like these girls without emotions just so they can impress some guy. They try to be sexy and perfect when in reality they are broken inside and they just want a guy to love them without all the pressure. Too many girls feel like they have to do something or be something in order to be loved. I have felt like that and its not fair. Girls should feel loved no matter what. So this blog posting is specifically for all the girls out there who feel like they are not good enough and the guys who need to be reminded about how all girls should be treated like princesses.
I know how hard it is with all the stereotypes. I struggle with self-image and acceptance and everything. It is not an easy thing and there are days that I feel worthless. I know the pain and the struggle. But just remember that you are loved and beautiful. You are all worth it.
"You is kind. You is smart. You is important". Let me just say that I love The Help and mostly just because of that one line. It is something that has stayed with me for over three years. I used to not take the line seriously until I was with one of my best friends. I was crying because of a boy and she looked at me and she said those 9 words to me. It was mostly just to make me smile but it made a huge difference. That's when I started to really believe in those words. Girls are kind, smart, and most of all they are important. Girls you should never feel like you have to wear or do certain things in order to be noticed. The people who notice you when you are in leggings, a shirt, no makeup, and messy hair are the ones that are worth your time. They accept you for who you are. They will accept you for your true beauty. Who you are as a person is a lot more important than how you look one particular day.
"Take your makeup off, Let your hair down, Take a breath, Look into the mirror at yourself, Do you like you? Cause I like you".
Girls just remember you should only wear makeup and get dressed up and do your hair because you want to. Not because you feel like you have to. Its your life, your body, your choice.
