just take a look at yourself.

I have fallen into that pit, that pit that all girls fall into, and if you are a girl and you haven't, then you're not a human, you're superhuman and I want to be just like you.

You say you're awesome like you're dismissing people's worries about you, but do you believe it?
You exaggerate your "messy life".
You eat what ever you want, but instead of enjoying it you feel guilty.
You don't stay fit, not because you can't, but because you don't care about yourself enough.
You tell yourself, you'll try harder to be social when you lose X amount of weight.
You procrastinate important things because you don't think you can do them right.
You gauge a good day from a bad day based on what you felt you looked like.
You ____(fill in the blank with your own unhealthy behavior)______.

Ok, now think of your best friend.
Think of how wonderful you think they are.
Think about that scarf, dress, hair-do they can pull off that you never could.
Think about their beautiful face.
Think about how amazing they are at cooking, school work, time managment, loving people, etc.
Think of their passion and how you adore every single moment you're with them.

Now think about yourself.
Do you think all those wonderful things about yourself?
Please do. because your best friend does, and thus it must be true.

Ladies, gentlemen, we are a prized group. Love yourself a little more today. Or I'll come yell compliments at you until we both cry.

Janna!
I followed your fb post here--I love everything you said here. SO true! We don't give ourselves enough credit.

By the way, I LOVE the Flaming Lips song you posted. You have a beautiful face, my dear. It's been ages, but some things you never forget--like the confident, funny, awesome person that you are. :)
