"i'm not pretty"

One of the saddest sights is that of a pretty little girl trying to make herself "beautiful".  Not just the girlish love for beauty, but the feeling that she isn't good enough and trying her hardest to "fix" it. Wearing makeup at 7 years old and dressing like she is a rather tacky teen...  Why?  What have we done as a society to little girls?  They are trying to look like that hot model on the front of the magazine, and failing.  They feel like they aren't good enough when really, that woman has been photoshopped to "perfection".  Children are no longer free to be children.  And it makes me sad to see it.

beyond the horizon

 There is a great big world out there.  Beyond my own backyard.  So big.  I want to keep walking into the horizon.  Where would I end up?  What would I see?  What adventures would I have?  Who would I meet?  

But I'm afraid to leave.  It is safe at home.  Comfortable.  So easy to stay in my little cosy corner and not venture out into the Big Wide World.  Full of angry and hurting people.  But sometimes I have to reach out beyond myself.  Out of my comfort zone and do things.  New experiences.  Go to places I've never been.  Even if it means going to my closest "Big City" by myself.  Because this is Life.  And if I don't live it, no one else will for me.  "Enjoy life.  This is not a dress rehearsal."  Unknown   So go and live the life God gave you.  Go have an adventure!
