Be You....Even If You Look Like Ronald McDonald

Rate: 3 Flag

If a girl who looks like Ronald McDonald can feel fabulous...then honey, so...can...you!

 My whole life Ive had....hmmm, hair...big hair, crazy hair, out of the picture hair, you know the kind that gets cut off in pictures because its actually outside of the frame. Yes, thats me. And though I was a big hit in the 80's....yeah... today...not so much.

 For a while I just cut it off as short as it could go without being mistaken for Yule Brennar or a bowling ball.

 But now...as I turn 21...ahem...or just a few years past that, Ive finally had an epiphany.

 Just be you. Love you, as you are. Recognize how fabulous you are, right now. And learn to accept this fabulous, wonderful thing that makes you stand out.

God took his time picking out the perfect hair on your head...even if its red, or crazy, or slightly out of fashion now that the 80's are over.

 Today....say to yourself...its ok to be me, to let the real me out. Im fabulous just like this.   Baby....God made me beautiful. God made me just like this...this hair was on purpose.

 Be you. Accept you. Love you...just as you are today.

The thing that always amazed me about people here in the US is their preoccupation with wanting to look like somebody else and emulate something that is not themselves. I always told my Daughters when they would ask me how they should wear their hair or dress what ever YOU feel comfortable with. I use to have to change my hairstyle so much in my work that sometimes I didn't even know what I look like normally. Now when I wonder what I would look changing my hair, I just use the shower drain and the loose hair in the tub. You look beautiful no matter what your hair does. Hope you are well Stephanie and I wish you the best in whatever you do. older/exasperated
Nice post Stephanie. It was a year this month I met you at Miami-Dade College (north campus) teaching a class on social networking and you mentioned this site. I post 2-3 a month so I am forever grateful to you for sharing the information...
exasperated...i love it. i dont stress about my hair any more...thats the point of it all. beauty is inside...and outside...whatever package it comes in. :) Thanks.

Ollies Daughter - Its good to see you online. I remember you because we laughed about greys anatomy, right? You do pr and you are uber-busy. Im always impressed.

Thanks, guys/gals/pals...happy thanksgiving.
I think big hair can be SEXY.
its strange, the media almost trains women to *not* like themselves no matter what they look like, even if they *do* look like the women in the media. its an astonishing mind game, and, I hate to say it but the mental brutality of it merits it, a massive society-wide mind****.....
Hi VZN - You have such an intelligent way of stating things so simply. You are right. Most women and girls are trained to see the faults instead of the god-given beauty they have. Who knows....could be the same for guys. I just want us all to start seeing how fab we all are. :) Thanks for the comments. Blessings and Cheers!!
