Don't Be Perfect: Be A Diamond

I hate to be a "Debby-Downer" but I'm sorry to say, you aren't perfect.

We have created this image in our heads of what perfection truly is, and she is a beautiful girl who excels in everything she does. Honestly, most of us try to be her, we want to get into our perfect college, we want to start all of the trends, and we want to be dating the best boyfriend!

Realistically we can't, and there isn't a single thing wrong with that. Whats wrong is trying to be this perfect girl, and trying so hard to be her that you end up becoming a bitch.

Like a friend of mine, who's name I will not say. She tries so hard to be perfect that when she talks to you it's degrading. Every time I make a joke about something she thinks I'm serious, so she takes me for an idiot. She also believes she is so beyond community college that every time I say "Yeah, I'm considering community college for financial reasons..." she will immediately say, "I'm not working my butt-off in high school so I can go to some community college!"

Gee thanks, have you ever considered how that made me feel after you said that? No. You didn't. You don't know what its like teaching yourself to be financially responsible at the age of eight so that you will be able to afford a college education, or a new guitar for Christmas. So don't go running around thinking you are THAT beyond me. Trying to be perfect will only make you look like a bitch, I know that I throw the word "bitch" around a lot, 99% of the time I am totally joking, but when I call this girl a bitch, I honestly mean it, simply because she puts me down like that.

Don't try to be perfect. I think everyone should try to be like my friend Maria, I like to compared her to a diamond. She's beautiful, and she's strong, like most girls.

We should excel in everything that we can do, like me for instance. I am good at blogging, being an Anderson Cooper fan, and trying to be a good friend. Maybe I'm not the BEST at those three things (but lets be honest I'm amazing at loving Anderson), but I try my best in them and i accept the things I suck at. For example french braiding hair, if I french braid my hair it's because I am going to wear a softball helmet, so it'll look bad anyways.

So I personally want to inspire any girls, and the two boys that I'm pretty sure read this blog..., to aspire to be diamonds. Stay strong and stay beautiful.
