And by that I don't mean we have to embrace gray hair and wrinkles. Color your hair, get Botox or a face lift if you feel the need but we should embrace whatever stage we are in life. I remember being in high school and thinking that I couldn't wait until I graduated and was on my own and could do anything that I wanted to do. What was I thinking? Why didn't I just embrace being 16-years old? I mean, Daddy paid the bills. I didn't have to worry about anything other than studying and what I was going to wear to school the next day. End of list!! When I finally was "on my own" and had to worry about paying for my car, telephone, electricity, food, clothing, etc. I found out really quickly that it wasn't so great! When I turned 30, I thought it was the end of the world. I had a really hard time with 30. I wasn't in my 20's anymore. I had to grow up and be mature!! Who wants to do that?? Once I turned 40, I was much better equipped for life. I began not letting every little thing in life bother me. I stopped caring if someone was talking about me because I embraced my flaws. I will never be 5'7". Who cares? I will never be a size 0. Who cares? I'm never going to have a filter on my mouth. Who cares? Well, maybe I need to work on that one a little bit. My point is that Life is Good so why do we let what others think of us bother us? I wouldn't trade my stretch marks and muffin top for the life that they brought into the world. They are just battle scars of child birth! TOWANDA!!
Let's all stop worrying about what others think of us. Apologize if you need to. If not, then let the haters hate. I wish I could get into young people's heads and give them the knowledge that life does get better. Just because you aren't in the cool crowd in high school doesn't mean that you are not somebody in life. Yes, your heart will get broken but that just prepares you for the one who would never break your heart. People are going to talk about you but that just means that you are relevant. Love doesn't hurt. Love feels good. Your true friends will never hurt you. They will build you up when you feel low. Love happens. Sadness happens. Not everyone is going to like you. You won't be great at everything you try. Disappointment happens. People will let you down. Find your joy in life and pursue it. Enjoy whatever stage in life you are in. There will be good points to each stage in life and as long as they outweigh the bad, then you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Learn from your mistakes and don't make them over and over. "Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement"!! Embrace life now!!
