To the Ladies who Feel Like They Aren't Enough

un-beautiful, inferior, damaged, and replaceable

10

This is for the girl who feels unwanted, un-beautiful, damaged, and inferior. You are enough. You have no need to wear 5 gallons of makeup to hide your beauty. You are naturally beautiful don't hide that beauty behind paste and powder. If someone can't love you and appreciate you for who you are both on the inside and outside naturally, do they truly deserve you? This article is for you beautiful, you're stunning on the inside and out. Don't let society shape you into a barbie. You are you and unique is beautiful too. Do you find that often times you're feeling inferior? This letter is for you as well. Why are you inferior?, Is your hair too short? Too long? Do you have freckles? Perhaps a mark on your skin? How about stretch marks? Are you a little "overweight" or "underweight"? This is for you.

I write this letter for the girls who never feel like they're enough.

Ladies, society tell us that if we have curves or a little thigh we are too fat. Society tells us if we have bones showing and a thigh gap we are too skinny, or even unhealthy. Society constantly is depicting what is right for us. Does society know us? Does society pay our bills? Does society feel our pain? The answer is No! Society doesn't know how we feel, or pay our bills, or know us. We are what defines ourselves and in order for that definition to be true we must start within ourselves.

True beauty lies within the beholder, something I didn't realize until recently. Growing up I was always fit and had an athletic build, I suppose you would say in societal standards that I was the perfect body. But guess what? Life happens. I have gained weight, I have curves, I have stretch marks, and most importantly I am beautiful. My body has done amazing things! I have had the honor of carrying 2 beautiful children and giving birth to them. I have been able to lift up my friends and family when they are down. I have been able to do amazing things with what society would say is an unfit and ugly body! But I have a big heart, an open mind, and unlimited supply of love and support so inside I am beautiful. So what if my outside has stretch marks and little flub? I worked hard for that! I earned those stripes. I gave birth to two beautiful boys and I hope to have the chance to have 2 more beautiful children when the time comes.

Ladies if it isn't society making you feel un-beautiful and it's a guy... Then let me stop you there. STOP! You do NOT need to ever change for a guy. If a guy can't accept you for who you are inside and out... he is NOT worth your time! So again I say STOP! I promise I have been there in your shoes, an amazing guy who wont even give you the time of day because your thighs touch... Ladies who are very slender.... I can't speak for you because I have not been in your shoes but I have some amazing friends who have and they have allowed me to speak to you from their eyes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
