Before I have my nightly conversation with God and say my Good Nights to my nearest and dearest, I wanted to stop by here to let you guys know that I’m feeling all well and good again, and that Chicken Pox hasn’t taken the best of me just yet, Lol. All praise to God for that one.
I also wanted to share something with you guys about loving yourself for who you are and being comfortable with the person you were made. I mean, with the constant images of what we’re supposed to and “must” look like I KNOW it can be rather difficult loving yourself AS YOU ARE. I’v ehad my share of bad days, so trust me, I know how that can be!! I’m not saying that it’s forbidden to want to lose weight, or to want to fit into a size 8/10 jeans or anything like that. What I’m saying is do those things because it’s what would make you happy, and not because society has put before us a set of guidelines or desirable situations that they try to demand we live. Now I’m a radical person, and I hate being confined to rules, very stubborn too. So anyone who knows me well will tell you that yes I read magazines and look at the latest styles, but If Im losing weight, its not because Im trying to look like someone that I am not, If I eat a certain food or chose not to eat a certain food its cause I have a goal that I personally want to reach, not because the magazine said I should do. No, not at all, not Zindzi.
I’m urging you guys to realise that not all that glitters is gold, yes indeed Celebs may have A-list bodies that may look ‘TO DIE FOR’ but we must not envy them for we have NO CLUE what in the world they did to get it. Just be happy with what you have, or at least work with what you have until you’re happy. Which brings me to my next and closing point – it’s something my Mom and Grand Ma taught from a very early age – to never want for anyone else’s possessions and never envy others seemingly happy life because what we see sometimes isn’t really what is. Things make seem happy on the front but we know not what happens behind closed doors. I am comfortable in my own skin (my skin may not be a smooth as a babies bottom, but I love it and care for it nonetheless) and body (I know I’m never going to be a size6/8 because I’m not meant to be, but I won’t allow myself to be over-weight or obesity). And I believe that my life is exemplary of constant change and evolution. More and more each day I’m growing into the Wonderful Woman God wants me to. Nowadays, it’s a constant struggle to stand out as opposed to fit in but I’m doing it. I believe my energy and personality makes me unique.
Think about this, if God wanted you to be someone else, he would have made you someone else, but he didn’t so appreciate who he made, YOU!
Ms. Zindzi.
