Insecurities

To every girl that ever reads this,

You are one of natures greatest accomplishments. You posses the energy needed to restore and heal the world. If you were ever made to feel stupid or immature as you sing your heart out or lip sync to those songs you just shouldn't like or even know if you were ever judged for wearing your skirt a little too short or dying your hair a ridiculous colour. This is why we feel insecure in who we are. 

Pressure from teachers, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, TV, films and magazines to be the perfect person, the perfect female, is why girls feel insecure. 

Its ok to be smart and pretty. It's ok to be bigger than a size 10. The need to starve ourselves to match the fashion setters, the magazines and the popular girls is why we are girls are insecure. 

It's ok to work hard for what you want not what your parents want you to be. It's ok to make and achieve our own goals. Not work towards what people want us to be. 

Because it's better isn't it to be well formed. Better to be slim be slight. those devastating eyes, 

so perfect vulnerable and young (Mrs Quasimodo C.A.Duffy)

The reason we are insecure is nothing to do with our selves and who we are it is our experiences. Its the external pressure why we feel insecure how can we ever be happy with who we are if it fails to make everyone around us happy? Before we can stop being insecure we need to learn to be happy with ourselves, to do things that please us regardless of how it is perceived by others.
