EXPECTATIONS

Baseless expectations
of what I’m supposed to be .This society makes baseless expectations of me .Why
should I be judged by something as groundless as the color of my nails; I mean it’s
just a stupid color. Like the singer India Arie said in her song, “I am not my
hair”, I don’t see why people should be judged by how they look in anyway. Style
is personal and even though you should be careful how you appear so you don’t
make the wrong impressions ,I think what you choose to look like most times
does not necessarily depict that the person you are is not “good enough”. I’m
most likely at that point in my life as a young lady where I experiment with
style and colors and I’ll definitely learn some things about it but it’s a pity
that our society doesn’t give young people (especially ladies) a chance to grow
when it comes to style not fashion .Fashion to me is highly overrated, over
flogged in most of our magazines today and overemphasized on other media. Fashion
is not who you are but style is. Style is how you combine your clothes and
their colors in a way that gives you comfort and confidence. In all of this,
the point is doing what you are comfortable with no matter what anybody thinks.
I’m not saying go overboard but keep it simple; it always works.
Focus on the things
that matter ,like love , faith hope. Like life ,when its good not when its bad.Like
education , grades , when their high not when their low.Focus on people that
matter, the Trinity, God the Father, Son, and Spirit, your family , friends
,loved ones , not your enemies, people who hate you . Focus on your vision , plans
, goals, and aspirations , dreams, and ideas , talents. Focus on your style ,
not magazine fashion. Focus on making someone else happy asides from yourself.
Focus on living life to the fullest and your highest potential everyday. Focus
on a good sense of humour about anything and everything . Focus on being happy
no matter what.
