Hey all!
Wow it's been way too long. That's what happens when one takes AP and Honors I guess. It's good to be writing again though. I hope you enjoy!
May this make you think,

Be conceited. I'm serious. Take pride in yourself. Look at yourself. Pick out three of the most negative things you tell yourself, such as mine: fat, untalented, unloved.
Okay. Acknowledge the lies. Most of these negative things we tell ourselves are lies we feel the need to tell ourselves. Yes I'm fat. I feel unloved at times, wait, let me correct that. I feel unworthy of being loved and I feel untalented.
But I was serious. Be a bit conceited. Tell yourself what is good and true about yourself. I'm strong of body and strong of mind. I'm witty and great when faced with a debate. I'm kind, I don't care who someone is, if they're my teacher, my small group, my friends, or even my enemies, they're all given that baseline respect all humans gets. I'm faithful. If one of you has gained my love and loyalty, they have no reason to fell alone. Even if we're fighting, I'll come stand beside them.
These negative and positive thoughts can shape a person. No, they do shape a person. We are all made up of each and every single one of the experiences we have, negative and positive, to be a blessing to others. He has made us the way we are wether its tall, fat, brunette, short, skinny, or blonde.
So these negative lies that we tell ourselves, destroy them. Seize them by a the neck and smite them. God has made you to be a blessing. Blessings aren't negative. Blessings are beautiful, merciful things for the betterment of others. View yourself as a blessing. Because that's what you are.
