A smile is the best makeup :~)

Just a few days ago I thought to myself...I need to start writing like I used to! Just honest feelings about life and well....My life story. I used to do that. I wrote about my travels, cool and interesting people I had met along the way, sights I had seen and how I felt at the time. My inner most thoughts I guess.

Since my new little family started with my hubby and step daughter I am filled with so much joy that I write about them all the time. Which I love! And as it is to be I am enclined to say that my step daughter is going through those terrible teenage years as a young girl. So the piont is JUST as I was about to change my writing style abit and move on to different things, I find that I will probably be writing more on the subject.

Teenage girls that have insecurities (for whatever reason) will typically start looking for someone to tell them they are pretty and be there cheerleader so to speak. When a young girl finds that guy that tells her he thinks she's cute, talks to her all the time, they laugh alot together and pretty soon they can't stand to be apart. It's "puppy love" basically. It's the attention she's getting from him that fullfills her need. That's really all she wants, but.... she thinks it much more! Oh boy do I remember those feelings.

I was that little girl too. I don't really know why for sure. I think some people are born with that insecurity. Sometimes it can get better as your older. But I would say you either are secure in your own skin or your not.

Some people don't look to anyone else for there boost of "I am good". It's in the genes I think. I really do. Because no matter how many times you tell someone they are pretty ...unless THEY "FEEL" it they won't believe you. And interestingly enough I think even a girl that is pretty and she knows when she looks in the mirror she is, if she doesn't FEEL PRETTY it doesnt matter what anyone outside tells her.

I just pray for our girl to feel better, cause all in all I think therein lies the problem.
