BEING INDEPENDENT IN A DEPENDENT WORLD

You have your new dress on, make up, heart racing, and ready to go out with this brand new charming guy. He opens the door for you, and all of a sudden this image pops into your head. An ex boyfriend.
It’s no secret that there are bad relationships out there. (Now of course there are some fantastic ones as well, I’m not just being pessimistic!) And most of us have been unlucky and gotten caught up in one. Sometimes these relationships can tear down our self esteem as we start to believe hurtful things the other says about us in midst of a fight. Or we may over analyze situations that cause us to be doubtful and cause strain on ourselves and relationships.
Then there’s the ending scenario.
The aftermath.
The breakup.
The sad song you play over and over.
Breakups can be rough on our minds. We play back the things that went wrong and wonder if it was us who caused them. We may wonder why we weren’t good enough to make it work. We may think back on all the things they didn’t like about us, and take them to heart and persuade ourselves they were right. Another scenario would be you think back on what THEY did wrong, maybe cheated or lied, and wonder why you weren’t good enough for them to not do those things to you. I’m going to tell you - please don’t do any of these things to yourself!
Nothing about the past should determine our worth - especially if that part of the past is a person. Whether they are friends, family, or past strings that are now unattached telling you otherwise - let the battle end and know that you are worth more then anyone can define.
Just because you had that one boyfriend in the past who cheated on you, teased you, or broke your heart, does not mean you can’t get back up with the confidence that you are worth much more. You deserve much more. Please don’t let yourself get lost in the train of thought that you are anything less then wonderful.

“Society can paint this picture that we are only beautiful if we are sexually desirable.”
A few weeks ago, I went to one of my favorite 2 day concerts ever- Dave Matthews Band! However, I was appalled by the number of beautiful girls that felt the need to wear next to nothing! I understand as females that we want attention, we want people to look at us and think WOW…but there is a difference between Wow and Woah.
As a woman, (holy cow- calling myself a woman is weird) we want to be sexy and beautiful. We want to be noticed and we want to be appreciated for who we are and the way we look and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! However, to me sexy doesn’t mean we should wear as little clothing as possible and showing off all of our mystery. I know we all can relate to this feeling of the media is constantly pressuring us with their perception of beauty- which happens to be focused on showing all your secrets. To me, being sexy and beautiful is an attitude. It’s dancing around your bedroom in sweatpants, it’s challenging yourself to grow in areas that might not be your strength, and it’s rocking a killer new outfit, it’s wearing a dress to feel girly, it’s embracing my curves, it’s wearing my tight fighting jeans, a fun tank and some studs on my shoes. It is simply based on the attitude you have about yourself.
Trust me- the outfit that shows all your gems might get a double take from a cute dude, but a sexy/beautiful attitude will grab someones attention and leave a lasting impression. Besides, who wants to spend a ton of money on clothing that BARELY covers you? Anybody with me?? Above are some SEXY/BEAUTIFUL outfits that are basics you can find at almost any department store for reasonable prices! Finally, look in the mirror and tell yourself: “I am beautiful, strong, and so worth loving!” If you need to write this on your mirror and put it on a notecard to place by your door before you leave for the day.

Your value does not lie on your decision making ability.
What happens when your plans don’t come to fruition? What does it feel like when the plans you made with someone fall tragically to the wayside? How do you respond when a decision you made and acted on for your life turns out to be the “wrong” one?
Do you feel downcast? Does your heart feel heavy inside your chest? Is your worth called into question (mainly by you and no one else).
You are not alone. These feelings of sadness, rejection, confusion and lack of self-worth happen to many or perhaps, dare I say, ALL of us.
But know this…one day the sadness will lift. Old plans will be replaced by new ones. Dreams will fill the pages of your journal, dreams that outshine what currently feels like the be all and end all of dreams.
Remember that no one else’s decisions can change your destiny. True, they may change the path to getting there but if something good is meant for you, it will come to fruition.
Your value does not lie on your decision making ability. It does not lie in whether someone chose to spend their life with you. And it definitely does not lie in what you do.
You, yes you, are so worth loving. Don’t let any bump in your road tell you otherwise.
