Hi, hello, whoops I am literally the worst at blogging lately-life has got me all thankful and busy and homework is crazy and my friends are awesome and God is moving and working and I am just trying to breathe and take in every moment (yes, that was a run-on sentence(and yes I was saying that without taking a breath(and yes I will probably blog about my life sometime soon if you want to listen to more run-on sentences))). But I just want to write a little mid-week, and life, reminder!! Friends, people that I love or people that I don't know but I still love, YOU ARE SO WORTH LOVING. YOU ARE RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED TO BE. YOU ARE AWESOME. YOU ARE MAKING PROGRESS. YOU ARE VALUED. You are YOU. Guys, the world lies to us a lot (emphasis on "A LOT"). It makes us believe that we have to be a certain size or shape to be loved. It tells us that if we don't get the grade, or the guy, or make the team, or wear those clothes, or have "those" friends, or have the perfect "fill in the blank" that that must mean we're not good enough. Those lies are just NOT true. You are a rockstar and (excuse my language-but I feel like it's necessary) you are a badass. You have gifts and qualities that NO ONE else has. YOU, yes you, are going to change the world in a way that no one else can. Therefore, we need you. You make our world special. You're making progress whether you feel like it or not, YOU ARE. Give yourself grace. As a culture living off of comparison and expectation, we don't often do this. You are worthy of grace and you are worthy of love. So EVEN WHEN you fail that test, when your boyfriend breaks your heart, when you don't look like "so and so", or don't have a body like him or her-YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE. Your worth is not in pounds or looks or grades or likes on social media. You are perfect and loved for YOU. Rest with that knowledge tonight, friends. You are all rockstars (and badass') and you are SO WORTH LOVING.
Sincerely,
Me
