Be your own kind of beautiful

I have decided to delete my recent blog about my hair and style and instead replace it with this blog... which is a lot nicer, and much less conceited. I've had a change of heart about the situation. So here's my message to you all.

Be yourself.
Invent your own style.
Be unique and different; don't try to be something or someone you're not.
Imagine your own possibilities.
Pursue your own dreams.
Take risks.
Be 100% okay with who you are.
Love more openly.
Play harder.
Give genuine compliments.
Give credit where credit is due.

That basically sums it up. My last blog was horrendous... I apologize for the angst. That being said, I'd like to explain a few things. I love being unique and individual. Instead of being flattered when someone copies me (regardless of what it is... my hair, my shoes, style, makeup, etc) I feel like my individuality is taken from me, and I'm not unique anymore. I feel like I'm being imitated without copyright permission! That's the thing that gets my goat. It's not that someone gets ideas from me, because I don't mind that. If a person looks at me and thinks, "Woah, that's awesome! I wanna do something like that," well then by all means, do something "like" that, but make it your own.

Be unique and be different. It's fun, you should try it! Find out who you are and love yourself! Don't let the pressures and ever changing styles of the world make you think you need to fit in. Find something that is YOU and embrace it. Self esteem comes from within, not from people complimenting you. I don't wait for people to tell me that I'm beautiful. Tell yourself that everyday, and you will start to believe it. Don't let people bring you down or tell you that you can't do something. I dare you to prove them wrong. Moral of the story: Be your OWN kind of beautiful!!!
