My Scratch Paper: Yes, Katy Perry, I feel like a plastic bag,

Yes, Katy Perry, I feel like a plastic bag,

I log in on Tumblr and see all these pictures of skinny, beautiful people....

I'm envious because i'm not as thin or as pretty

I'm sad because i can never be one.

I'm depressed because i feel insecure.

I log in on Tumblr and read all these quotes telling me to be happy with how I look...that I'm good enough.

See, the irony isn't making me feel better.

p.s. I have nothin against Tumblr. :)

Syd, you're a beautiful girl. I hope you believe me. You have a contageous smile that brightens up other people's day. You have a cheerful personality that always shows people you're a really nice and kind person. Other people find you beautiful. Well, I do! >:D< So smile :)

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
