I love linking up with Glamazon Mom and Mamarazzi on Fridays because it's like free therapy. Oh, and they are seriously hilarious! You should do it to. Come one, everyone else is ;)
-I love having girl time
-Last night was no exception
-Every girl that was there I love to hate
-There are skinny girls (you know who you are ;))
-There are talented girls
-There are totally better than me in every way girls
-I love to hate them all :)
-No, seriously, I do love them
-I just am so insecure about myself
-There, I said it
-I never feel that I can measure up to anyone
-I'll never have the "guns" (arms people!)
-I'll never not have the muffin top
-I'll never be skinny-minny
-I'll never have flawless skin
-I'll never be super-duper smart
-I'll never be a "molly"
-I'll never be able to have an adorably decorated house
{-I'm so not creative in any way
-I just stalk copy other people's creativeness
-Why not?!
-I give them the credit :)}
-I need to learn to be okay with who I am
-I need to be able to know that I am accepted for me
-I guess I should work on that
-Sometime
-In the future
-Right now I'm secure with being insecure
-How sad is that?!
-Every time I try to think about accepting who I am I have an anxiety attack
-Once again, I'll work on that
-How seriously serious was this confessional?!?!
-This was not the way I was going to go with today's confessional
-I guess it just needed to come out :(
I'm the same way with my girlfriends! They are all better than me and I should hate them but I can't help loving them...and then feel bad cuz I'm not them ;)
ReplyDeleteDoes it help to know that I think we all feel the same way? And by the way, you've totally inspired me. I thought to myself yesterday, "Debra has 3 busy boys AND teaches preschool full time, and yet she manages to come to church every week with something new and adorable that she's made." So I thought that I ought to actually do something instead of just admiring everyone else. So thank you.
ReplyDeleteHope you know we all compare our "faults" or things we see as "short comings" to everyone else's talents and strengths. I hate that as women we do that but we all do. Even if it is in secret we all do it. I wish we could just love what we see. Maybe someday...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your honesty and blog :)
Don't be so hard on yourself. I don't know you at all but it sounds like you are beating your poor self up and you probably don't need to. Re-read what Chelsey said. How sweet was that?
ReplyDeleteOk...I'm off my soap box. I hope you have a fantabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by my place today! I love Friday Confessionals!!
Good confession - brave! But, comparing yourself to others is a waste of time. Realize what you give the world, that you ARE creative and talented and no 2 people have the same set of gifts or flaws. Use the things you admire in others to inspire you, not to weigh you down.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. I could copy and paste it as my own. A good friend told me once that comparisons are deadly. So true, but so hard not to do. Us ladies are wired that way.
ReplyDeletePS Love your blog

Never say never! I always thought I would never be a molly, and well, some years later, I'm so a molly. And I hate it and love it. LOL! Never say never!
ReplyDeletei think most women are hard on themselves now and again. it happens. give yourself a break. for real, i am sure you can find things to love about yourself. find them and focus on them cuz what you pay attention to grows!!
