I am "Me"

Every morning you wake up and the first you probably due is head to the washroom to get ready and when you're there you'll wake up to see yourself. YOUR TRUE SELF. Messy hair, no make up, no heels or nice clothing. Just you and your comfortable PJs. Nowadays, so many people focus on how important their image is and stress about how others see them. Numerous advertisements, in  fact, promote and sell the idea of the "perfect" image. Young boys and girls whom are now attached to their hand held devices such as smart phones and tablets etc are exposed to such ads everyday. You click on YouTube on your iPad or computer and you'll be forced to look at an ad of some sort, and out of the thousands of ads you'll probably be exposed to  one that talks about how to achieve perfect hair, skin, body structure etc.

I don't think many of us can step outside without wearing a nicer piece of clothing, not wear any facial products or makeup, and have our hair fixed the right way. It's true, no company, no public place would accept the fact that a person heads out looking like a bum.  If there was a person who just wore a big t-shirt and baggy pants or just PJs with messy hair and bare face, people would probably look your way and judgemental thoughts would be racing through their minds like " what's wrong with him/her?" right away.We cannot control that. However, there is one thing we have control of, our acceptance of ourselves. If you can accept that maybe you don't have the perfect skin like the model of the Olay ad does, or maybe you don't have the perfect wavy dark brown hair the model of Pantene does, or maybe you don't have beautiful blue eyes with  curled eyelashes like the model on the mascara ad in the magazine does; you have learned to love who you are. If you can look in the mirror in the morning and say, "Hey, I actually look pretty good without all that product slapped on my face." Congratulations, you have learned to accept your true self. You have learned that no one else is as special and as unique as you are.... you can be proud and say "I am "Me" and I am unique!"

Love yourself, have fun!
