Everyone is talking about things they are thankful for [it is that time of the year, you know], so I thought I'd jump on the thanksgiving bandwagon.
Today I am thankful...
...that I am not in high school anymore.
Random? Possibly. True? Definitely.
My high school days were some of the most insecure that I can remember.
I spent so many days worrying about what people thought of me - worrying that my hair looked ok or if my clothes made me look fat or why someone didn't talk to me that day.
Now to be honest, I still worry about those things sometimes. But it's not a pervasive, think-about-it-all-the-freakin-time kind of worry.
I have come to love myself for who I am. I feel confident in my own skin.
Do you know what helped me the most?
Gaining a knowledge that I am a daughter of a very loving Heavenly Father who values me and is very involved in my life.
I knew that in high school, but I don't think it had really entered into my heart yet. And now I know it with my whole heart.
Like I said, I still have those days or those moments of insecurity.
But it only takes me a second to remember who I am.
And don't you forget, either.
Heavenly Father loves you. You are important. You are special. You are worth it.
Thank goodness there is life after high school, eh?
