They say that beauty is skin deep...of course the people who say this are all ugly with shit personalities! Beauty is everywhere and in every aspect of life. I hope to illustrate this point today in order to change a friends view of themselves (you know who you are)!
There are many things to look at every day and see beauty. Even if you're not happy where you are, you can loopk around and see wonderful things. An attractive colleague smiling at you, a person sending you a txt that instantly makes you smile, a clear sky, an opportunity. If we are willing to see beauty in other things and other people why do we find it so hard to see beauty in ourselves?
A friend of mind...in fact a few of my friends really...are artistic and amazingly creative. They can see things a s beautiful and create things that are beautiful. One friend in particular is rather troublesome though. She creates AMAZING things and then rips them to pieces in an instant. She makes head-way with her 'self-image' and 'pma' and then reckons she'll never find love etc...she is nothing short of annoying at times! I will provide an example:
There's this guy. She RE-HE-HEALLY likes this guy. She chats to him, she even flirts a little (although she'd never admit this) and he flirts back...but she doesn't see that she has a chance with him. Can you see where my frustration comes in?!
The only reason I write this is because she wasn't happy with my Blogs recently. I've become a bit moany which I can see so I apologised and she suggested I write about her 'un-requited' love. So instead I write about Beauty and tell her:
You are beautiful and you have a matching personality. If he doesn't say 'Yes' when YOU ASK HIM OUT...he is a fool and not worth it.
If we can see things around us that take our breathe away and make us think: WOW! Look at yoursleves and realise that, even though we are our biggest critics, we should dig down and see that the most beautiful thing in our lives is ourselves. If we struggle to see it (and we no doubt will) we should listen to the beautiful people we make our friends. Is that not the reason we have them?! Is their personalities not the reason we chose them? Listen to your friends! You are all wonderful!
That had no order to it at all did it?!

Oooh, you will have to let us know how she goes on asking the guy out... maybe you have started your own soap opera here?!
I hope you carry this on when you get stateside mate, and I hope that you use it as an outreach tool when you are doing your youth ministry type stuff.
Good work mate. As ever.
PS: I am loving the new layout. :)
Ah Blueboy...if you knew this girl like Seany boy does then you will know that unless he asks her out it ain't gonna happen, she is a big fraidy cat, scared of the humiliation that the rejection could bring, not to mention the life crushing devestation that she would feel and never EVER recover from....
Other than that though I spoke to her today and she is trying to get her PMA back! x
Well I think she's a nutter and puts too much pressure on herself!
