"Dear me....why aren't I perfect?"



"Dear me....why aren't I perfect?"

     Everyone is insecure about something. Whether its an insecurity as simple as dressing like everybody else, or having marks on your face, we all have insecurities. Trust me. I have them, your friends have them, even the most popular kids at school have them! No matter who it is, we all have them. The real question is what are insecurities, and why do we have them? Why aren't we just perfect?

     To be confident is always the first step to getting rid of insecurities, we all know that. Why do we have these feelings though? Well, it's important to know that these emotions are really just responses to our characteristics, inside and out. Now, let's discuss why we have insecurities. The reason is, we recognize when someone or something is truly sensational. Usually, our reactions make us want to have that characteristic, or item, such as an article of clothing, and we'll end up feeling self conscious. But why spend your time thinking and wishing you had that? How come we can't just be more confident in who we are? I believe, from my current experiences, think its due to the fact that in our social lifestyle today, we know looks and haves are part of having a good reputation. Though really, your real friends won't care if your hair is a mess, or if you have a scratch under the eye that looks strange. Anything that you dislike, most likely won't be an issue to anyone but you. Next time you look in the mirror, or watch someone else, try to think about this. You have one life, so live it well, and love yourself for who you are. Ignore the looks, smile, and enjoy life.

Relationships with a mirror

Relationships with a mirror:      Most likely, when you read this title, you thought of self image. I tend to pinpoint this topic often in my blogs, because it is important to me, but is often misinterpreted. Many people seem to define self image as how you look in the mirror. Although that is part of this, there is much more to this topic. To me, self image is a combination of self love, self appearances and how we react to them, and self confidence. For example, when I look in the mirror, I may not always be pleased with what I see, because the other people look "perfect", yet I do not. But take a moment to imagine what they might say when they look in the mirror. Every person has insecurities and flaws, no matter how flawless they appear to be. This begins the conversation of the "Relationships with a mirror".       As I stated in the above paragraph, every person has flaws. But these flaws are awesome, they make us who we are. It is easy to stand in t

Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!      Tomorrow is known as "Memorial Day", a day to honor the men and women who have served in the military. These men and women have made many sacrifices, including some who lost their lives. As a way to show gratitude for these hardworking men and women, we often send letters, visit memorials, host family gatherings, or participate in annual parades.       Unfortunately, many of these celebrations are no longer able to happen this year, as a result of the pandemic we are now faced with. Yet it is still important to honor all the hard work and dedication these men and women put forth. So you may be wondering how to show your appreciation despite these setbacks. To start, there are many artistic activities you can do to express your appreciation. For example, you can make posters or signs.

"That's a Bop"

"That's a Bop"      You may have heard the phrase, "That's a Bop", which basically means that a piece of music is what society views as great. For example, when the song Shake it Off came out in 2014, many young listeners referred to the song as being a "Bop". Another example is the song 10,000 Hours, released in 2019.       The reason why this phrase should be spoken about now, is because many people globally are dealing with hard times currently, and listening to music is a good outlet for their stress and pain during these times. If you're dealing with something difficult, and have not yet tried this method of release, set some time each day to listen to music that you enjoy. Music can change the way people view situations, and take their mind off the parts they don't like to think about. Of course, it won't completely ease the pain or stress, but it is a great way to change your mood and not have the situation take over e
