Who are you?

It...
is not what people say you are...has nothing to do with the number on the scale....is not the boy/girl you are dating. It is not the number of mistakes you have made, nor the choices you regret...it is not the degree you have, the secondary education you failed to get, nor the career you are in hot pursuit of.

It is not the real/fake diamonds you adorn, not the worth of your clothes...it isn't how many tweets, followers, friends you have in cyberspace nor the 'crew' you hang out with. It is not your taste in music, your lack of appreciation for movies, reality nor series. It is not the clubs you've been in, the VIP entrances you've gotten/not gotten....

Who you are is a deeper thing than the smile/frown on your face...it is more profound than the scent of your favourite fragrance...more palatable than your best dish. It is worth enough for the Son of the living God to lay His life down for you. Who you are is a treasure of the most high, the apple of His eye and His prized...You are of love, take time now and give yourself a hug. Not matter how low you feel, and how helpless and weary, remember there's one who loves you above all...Put on a smile...you are love unconditionally.

'til next time, xoxo, imperfectGirl

Love...but not blindly

Every girl dreams of the one. We meet one and fall in love almost instantaneously. If you're like me, you love hopelessly. They can never do wrong in your eyes. Even when they do, your heart will not allow you to hold onto those wrongs, because your love burns fiercely enough to consume them.

Sad thing is, the wrongs are a vicious cycle...they chip away at your being, your esteem and leave you feeling helpless. If you do not realise it, you wake up one day wondering why your relationship is sour. You blame yourself for the disharmony, you wonder how you mess things up...you make yourself the villain, your relationship the victim. What we need to learn as girls, as emotional as we can get, is to put emotions second and let logic be our guiding light. We should learn to appreciate our flaws and vulnerabilities but do not let anyone make you feel any less human.

We are imperfect, but so is the next person. We make mistakes, so does the next person. Do  not allow your hopeless love make you feel like it is acceptable to let another drain the life and the joy out of you. You make you happy, embrace and love yourself enough to defend yourself.

These are my thoughts...some stemming from my experiences, others from what I've heard...
