Confidence

Blonde haired-blue eyed beauties

You know those girls that seem to always get the guys? Well I kinda hate them. Ha. Those that complain about the attention they are getting from all over the place and they brush it off like it’s a petty annoyance and I'm just standing their with my mouth open trying to understand which social train I missed.

I used to think that only a certain type of girl was ever noticed by the gorgeous guys, but I was talking with my dad on the phone today and I realized that I have been thinking of the whole situation,  and thinking about myself, in such a wrong way. I thought that only those that are blessed with beautiful DNA are able to turn the head of a boy. Girls let me tell you something: that is FALSE! Obviously take care of yourself so that you feel confident in yourself, but the just get out there and strut your stuff! Guys like girls that are confident in themselves. They want girls who feel beautiful and they show it. Be your own kind of beautiful!

There are a few guys right now that I am interested in and I was talking with my dad trying to get advice about what I should do with the situation in order to show them that I am interested --And on a side note can I just say that I hate “the game.” Whatever happened to old fashioned courtship and love letters and guys having the guts to ask girls out? (That's another post for a different day). Anyway, when I was talking with my dad I kept thinking about how awesome these guys are that I'm crushing on and for a second I let myself think that I just didn't stand a chance and I might as well just forget about it. I mean, who would love a girl like me right? WRONG! What I realized was that I need to walk out of my door every day feeling confident in who I am; I need to stop thinking that I am not beautiful and start thinking that I AM beautiful, because it is then that the beauty that I have is intensified by the beauty I feel about myself inside and out. This is when people see how beautiful you are. But it always begins with YOU.

So me and my dad decided that I am going to go for it! This is my life!  And I want to end up with someone as awesome as these guys that I am interested in. If I don't step out of my comfort zone and put myself out there to socialize with guys like them, then I will never end up with someone like them (someone that I know I deserve—because it is also SO important to never settle).

So here's to awkward first conversations; here's to embarrassing moments; here's to 10 seconds of courage; here's to feeling insecure; here's to try try again; and here's to being confident in who I am and feeling beautiful!
