Self Respect
I stand behind what I believe. I will not lower my standards or bend my morals for someone else. I've realized that hiding or changing who I am to impress someone else is a waste of time. If my beliefs or my life style make you uncomfortable or seem crazy to you, that's fine. If you can't accept everything about me, you don't deserve anything from me. I'm tired of trying to act perfect, because I'm not. Reading Eat Pray Love (yeah yeah, I enjoyed it) made me realize something. No matter how much I want to change things about me, I can't. I'll never be stick thin with perfect legs. I'll never be the quiet type. I'll never be the girl to go crazy over babies or weddings. I'll never care about my makeup or my nails. I'll absolutely never be the type to keep my opinions to myself. These are things I'm slowly learning to accept about myself. And if someone else can't accept them, then they don't deserve all the other fantastic things I have to offer.

Amen to that! Love means taking the pros and cons. Loving for everything you are and everything you are not. And as my very good friend, I love all those things about you. I like who God made you. Whoever doesn't can go away. :)
