Being the Pretty-est aint always the "Prettiest"

Sometimes when I am out in public, people stare at me...

I always wondered... Is my nose too big? Are the dark circles around my eyes protruding so much that they are making me look sick and tired like I have sum contagious disease? Or perhaps maybe its the way I wore my hair today and they can tell that its not real... Is it my height? Is it that I am abnormally short? I mean I'm 5'3 which is short for a model but not the average woman and Ive actually noticed that I am taller than most women I stand next to on a day to day basis... Are my clothes not flattering to my physique? does this shirt make my arms look fat? Do I wreak of some foul odor? What am I cock-eyed and don't know it? What the hell is it!...and I keep asking myself what could possibly be wrong with me that is causing them to stare at me?

&& then the stares stopped and the questions started...

"Hi I was wondering where you got your shoes they are so cute on you!"
"You have a great shape do you model? I mean I know you are a lil short for a model but put on some high heels you can do it!"
"Omg I could never get my hair like that howd you do it?"
"What it that fragrance that you are wearing? It smells sooo good!"
"I was noticing how beatifully shaped your eyes are, hey do you wear contacts?"

& then there are the drooling men...

"You look like you belong on tv, do you have any special talents? I can make you famous girl!"
"Daaaaayum baby your body is on point! Can I get your number?"
"Excuse me miss sorry to stare but you are just so beautiful do you gotta boyfriend?"
"Can I talk to you for a second? I just want to tell you that I think you are really pretty...have a nice day."


Once I escaped the eyeview of any living organism, I asked myself again... why were they staring? It wasnt because of my dark circles, my nose and all of the other negative things that clouded my thoughts... Interestingly enough not once did it cross my mind that maybe, just maybe I am really that damned pretty!


You see... being the pretty-est aint always the prettiest ;-)

Blogging is not something that I normally do. I am more of an aol instant messenger away message kind of girl but once I got a hold of this website I found that this is the perfecct place for me because I can express my thoughts in way more space than in an away message! I am not really inspired to write anything right now but perhaps I will try to inspire you (the reader) with my favorite quote instead:

"There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others do not feel insecure around you"
-taken from Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson


...that quote has taken me very far in the past few months and although it may not seem like much right now once you start living it I hope that then you will see how much positive change it has brought to your life.
