like trees losing their leaves, birds shedding old feathers, and toyota recalling all of those cars... nature seems to call for makeovers. a reinvention of who we are, what we look like, or how we act. it's natural to take a deep breath, and start over.
when you reinvent, you should mainly rely on yourself and not the strength or opinions of others. this is for you, and you alone. if you're reinventing yourself for someone else, or worse a boy, grow up. do something great for yourself.
and i'm not talking about blowing hundreds of dollars on new clothes, although that would be so much fun. it's like what alicia silverstone in clueless... "this time, i makeover my soul." such an insightful movie (sarcasm)...
mine? i'm drowning in an ocean of love (god's love, duh), getting another piercing, re-doing my hair, running more, eating better, practicing being more laid back and easy going, smiling more, and strengthening my confidence in who i am, with and without my friends.
sound good? you betcha.
the beatitudes say, "blessed are the poor in spirit..." i think this is because once we hit our lowest of lows, we see god and can build ourselves up again to find a great happiness. god desires for us not to worry, to be joyful and happy in his presence. but how can we appreciate being happy if we never experience times that truly break our hearts?
