JOTOS.... My, My, Monday

This past weekend has probably been one of the best weekends that I have had in a very long time. I was able to hang out with friends and just relax. There is no greater feeling than that.

Now...

My thoughts for today...

I don't claim to be "the world's greatest Christian" or "super spiritual" at all, however, I feel like I am very in tune with what God has for me to do and say. Today, I want to talk about being genuine in a superficial world.

Porcelain Dolls.

They're nice to look at, but after a while, they're boring and aren't very pleasing. You can't cart them around with you, or they'll break. You can't change their clothes, they won't come off. You can't wrap it up in a hug, it's too hard... sometimes, we as people can be the same way.

We want to be pleasing to the eye so we do everything, and wear everything we can to make people believe that we have it all together. Buy the right clothes, carry the right hand-bag, make sure every hair is in place, and laugh off any criticism as people being "jealous". At the end of the day, we are left hollow inside. There's nothing to us but what we plaster on the outside for people to see. Then we wonder why it is that we cry ourselves to sleep every night.

Why be porcelain when you can be real? Being real takes so little. You wear what you are comfortable in, you spend what you're comfortable to spend, your hair reflects your true personality, and you feel good about yourself! You don't have to try to fit in, because you DO fit in! You are you!

I myself have struggled with this before as most of you know. I hated the word perfect. It  plagued my every thought. Now? Now I have no problem being me. You know why? Because being real is so much easier than being fake! There's enough superficial in this world without me being the same way. ;)
