Beautiful

Sometimes people can pull us down and make us feel like nothing.
But we should not let them pull us down.
The ones who we should be listening to are the ones who are always there for us, make us feel special, let us be ourselves around them, and if we do mess up- then tell us kindly instead of making us feel even more horrible about ourselves.
We should be around friends who love us for us, without any changes. We are all unique and beautiful in our own way. We might have different qualities about ourselves than others but using them the right way, we can move a nation. And show others that they don't have to change to be accepted.
So whether being you is wearing comfy shoes and slacks, high heels and a dress, hats, hair down or in braids, jewelry or no jewelry- just remember to be you. People love what is real, not what is an image of someone else who you think is better. It is not just others who will enjoy the real you, but also you will feel more confident in yourself.
Here are some songs just to say that we are all beautiful in our own way:

Here's to being strong in ourselves and in being real.

Please have a cup of tea with me today.
