"All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up." We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Because we've been educated to be afraid of messing up.
Tonight some girl friends from my singles ward and I went to go see confections of a shopaholic (which was totally worth going to with a bunch of girl friends). While we were standing in line I saw a guy that i had been trying to get a hold of all day but had no way of doing it. (you can imagine how hard that was for me to do). Well it seems like every time i need to get a hold of this guy I end up runing into him. And low and behold i did. But okay here is the thing so this guy is just getting to know me. and well the girl and i decided that we should wear our sweats to the theater today. which believe you me I was all game for. but while i was siting in the theater I realized what shirt i had thrown on. My brothers shirt. i borrowed it one day after work my shirt had a bunch of gross food on it so i asked to borrow one of his. I haven't returned it yet so i grabbed it. This shirt is so not me!!! i would never wear a shirt like this unless it was my brothers and i was borrowing it. why you ask? here is your reason! Thats right it says you can't spell awesome with out me. I would never even say that! So I had to laugh because of the randomness of it all. I'm trying to get the guy to realize how professional I am and I'm wearing this shirt! good job Charmaine...Good job
Lately I have a few friends that have been having problems mostly with self-esteem. They have been make extreme decisions trying to make things better for them. Only making them feel worse about them selves. I sit and watch them do these things to themselves and as they get hurt more and more try to help them in anyway that I can, but I haven't been making much good. i want them to know that they are amazing girls and don't need to go searching for things to make them happy. They have it all already with in them! They are daughters of God. Princesses and deserve to be treated as such! They have so much worth if they could only see what I see in them or even better what their Father in Heaven sees in them. I would give anything to make things better for them.
My friend LyndsiBromley wrote a song called "Stop" It is probably one on my favorite songs that she has ever written. It applies here she says things better then I could. I have added a video of her singing it. Listen to the words. Know that you are loved and that you deserve better then someone that puts you down all the time, better then someone that makes you feel lower then dirt. You are a daughter of God and you deserve to be treated like one! Please don't settle for anything less! You are a Daughter of a King. Don't allow anyone to tell you or treat you otherwise! I love you.
Lyrics: There are so many songs that I never wanted to sing because they're born in a sad dark part of me. I try to Shut it down to quite the sound of my heart begging to say
will you stop you cant keep going on this way please cant you see I'm pleading someone would you find a way from everything so cold and dim I don't know how to fix this right now but please just stop
stop looking in the mirror and hating what you see stop believe that all you get is what you can see stop living like you never be enough to ever be someone
will you stop you cant keeping going on this way stop listening to what those stupid voices say you dont need to tuck and paint and hide away all the things that make you beautiful in every way
don't let fear and failure stand in your way everything will be okay (just let go of you mistakes) because you know you have got to know that there is always a way to
stop living this way your heart is pleading you will find a way you don't need someone to take away this pain because you have the strength to stop
