True Happiness

True happiness for most young girls is perceived as follows: Being Captain of thee cheerleading team in high school, beauty, dating the quarterback, being high school sweethearts, and getting married to said quarter back. I however have learned recently that quote true love is not the key to happiness. Yes the love of a man is a piece of the giant puzzle called life, but it is not the puzzle itself. In my opinion true happiness is feeling at home in your own skin, and in the world. This takes a lot of young women a long time, heck even a lifetime to understand. Our society makes young girls feel inferior for not measuring up to its standards. Most girls are now starving themselves, because from a young age it is put into our minds that if we don't have the beach ready body, perfectly blonde hair, tan skin, and blue eyes, then we are worth nothing. Now I am not saying there is nothing wrong with naturally looking this way. If you are born this way then more power to you, but if not do not stress over it. Not stressing over such silly things will help you in life. Being beautiful won't help you get good grades in school, in which you need to get the job of your dreams. So please think to your self, and say "Am I truly happy?". So until you get past societal standards, and until you start living for yourself you may not find your happiness, but if you have that is amazing! Now I am not trying to tell you how to live your life, I am just trying to shed a little light into life. Go forth and live out your dreams, and turn those I can't s into I can's!! As always I want you to remember that you are Loved, Blessed, Chosen, Adopted, Accepted, Redeemed, and Forgiven.
