Today, was a small victory for me. Actually, a really huge victory, I'm not even going to tone it down. Like, really. I am just so good right now. For real.
I went to school today, and I just felt confident. My face is broken out like a.. I don't know. But it looks like a pepperoni pizza. And you know what? I was totally down with that. My jeans were from ninth grade and guess what? A little bit of my back skin was muffin-topping it up over the sides. And I did not even care. Its not like I'd given up.. but its like my favoritest line from this Chinese Proverb. "Compete with no one, and no one can compete with you." I believe that so much. I just felt confident.
I am just me, and is enough. I had such a good day. I passed people who have left my life, and guess what? I didn't miss them, or feel sad that we didn't say more than hi. Because, they made me who I today, no doubt, but moving on and letting go of them is making me who I'll be tomorrow. And I love that. I'm so grateful for the fact that I'm happy, and alive, and okay. I feel so blessed.
This morning my daddy gave me a priesthood blessing because I asked him to. I had two ENORMOUS tests, one in World Civ and the other in Honors English. I studied all day after my piano lesson yesterday, but I was still terrified. And guess what? I sat down to take those tests and BOOM, knew every question without a doubt, even when I went back and rechecked before handing it in. I am truly blessed! :)
My dad picked me up and I looked in the mirror and realized, I looked like a mess even though I had made an attempt at getting ready. And I just laughed. Cause I like the girl in the mirror, messy hair, pimply face and all.
I even sat down to the piano and for the first time ever, I wrote something that actually is complex and legitimate, and it was exactly how I've felt lately.
Ooh ooh! And the best part? I was at Target buying my sister a present for her birthday, and guess what? I tried on a yellow sweater. And I bought it. Now, maybe you don't know how awesome that is for me. But it is SUPER awesome. Its neon yellow. Yellow is my favorite color, but I only wear it when I'm at my happiest. Its happened a couple times this school year, but usually it only happens a lot in the summer.
But guess what? I'm wearing yellow tomorrow. Because I'm yellow right now! :)
Oh, my little Shel-Belle...so good to have you in yellow again! I can't wait to hear your legit song. Did you already put lyrics to it? Yellow it up tomorrow, dude. You deserve it.
