today
I am
fourteen.
I don't want favourites,
or comments.
What I want for my birthday, is for each every one of you witty
girls/guys to genuinely feel beautiful.
Today, when you have a moment to spare, I want you to go to a
mirror. I want you to tell yourself outloud,
that you ARE good enough. That you ARE unique.
That your ARE beautiful.
Today for my birthday, I want you to feel good about
yourself.
I want you to love yourself for once. There's no
shame in that. However, there is shame in hiding your
beautiful soul from the world, because of that little voice
inside your head that keeps nagging at you. The little voice that
nibbles on your self-esteem everyday. The same
damn voice that tells you to believe what the bullies are telling
you.
You know what makes today extra special? It's the fact that
you are going to stand up to that little voice.
You are going to forget about that voice for today. Do it for me,
but also for you. Do it for those who never had the chance, or
the strength to do so.
You are so lucky to be alive, because you have the
privelege of using the words "One
day I'd like to be..."
The beauty of the whole situation is you get to choose what you
are one day. If you want to be a doctor, great.
If you want to be a fireman, great. If you want
to be a nurse, a waiter, a waitress, a bartender, a party
planner, whatever you WANT to be....
FANTASTIC.
Your life, your choices.
But just for today, please...Just feel
beautiful.
