Anonymous asked: Moving on from something good to something you're new to is definitely a situation calling for mixed emotions. Why has this chapter in your life been so dear to you?

This chapter in my life has been so dear to me because I’ve captured all of my childhood memories, pre-teen memories, and teenage memories. However, I will never be able to have this current stage of my life back once graduation ends…so, as you know, that’s why it’s bittersweet. I’ve made so many memories this year, and it’s been the best year of high school HANDS DOWN. I’m really going to miss it. 

Anonymous asked: So how long is it until you graduate from high school? Are you excited or scared?

I graduate on June 3! Haha I’m pretty excited about graduating, but idk if I’m ready to let go of a chapter in my life that has been so dear to me. #mixedemotions

I know you are not much for words, but sometimes I wish you’d tell me how much you care.

First, before I offend anyone, I need to admit that these women are gorgeous, and I have nothing against them personally.  When I look at this picture, I see perfection. When I look at myself in the mirror, I see the opposite. This picture shows these beautiful women, and conveys the idea that all women should look like this, BUT the truth is many girls don&#8217;t.  Girls are insecure, I speak for myself at least. When I look at this picture, it makes it hard for me to accept my natural figure, and this is why many girls struggle with self-image issues. Society has put into our minds that we&#8217;re not pretty or good enough if we aren&#8217;t that skinny, leggy, or beautiful.  Why is it that we never see  normal, naturally pretty girls on magazines? Why is it that magazines make it difficult for average girls to relate to models? If magazines are made for people to read, relate to columns, and receive advice from writers, then why is it that they choose the least likely people for young girls to relate to? Don&#8217;t get me wrong, models are beautiful, and I have a lot of respect for them. I respect models for being bold and fearless.  Maybe it&#8217;s just me, but someday, I&#8217;d like to be able to relate to a 5&#8217;2 beauty in a magazine and feel normal for once. Someday, I hope to feel confident enough in a bathing suit, and be able to strut along the beach without thinking&#8230; what if they think I&#8217;m fat? Someday, I hope to be able to carry myself in a way where I&#8217;m not constantly thinking&#8230; I hope he doesn&#8217;t think I&#8217;m ugly. Someday, I hope that I can look in the mirror and be able to say&#8230; you&#8217;re beautiful just the way you are.  Just sayin&#8217; reblog if you agree with anything i just said.
