Violet Rays

It's kind of sad how I don't get any compliments unless my hair is fake.

First of all, I do love my hair the way it is and think it's really pretty, nor do I ignore/hate the comments that have been given.

Also, I do understand that my natural hair is still transitioning, which makes it look really awkward for a(long)while.

I just wish my natural hair was considered beautiful also.

I have to color/elongate my nails, cover my face (with make-up), and use factory hair to be considered beautiful.

It is annoying. It is HIGHLY annoying.

To contradict myself, it is fun to do that stuff that I listed above. Well, sometimes. I just wish I didn't feel like I have to do it all the time to get attention and I got quite a bit of attention, when I dressed up for Prom (oh yea, BTW all of this was for Prom last weekend).

ugggh.....life.

What would ... think?

I look up to so many people.

I stopped and thought, if MLK, Audrey Hepburn, Richard Rodriguez, etc. saw how I act, What would they say to me?

Would they be proud or shameful?

That puts things in perspective. The next time you don't do your best and know that you're not, how will your idol think of you? Would he or she be as proud of you as you are of them? Wouldn't you want them to see you and say 'Good job'?

As far as I'm concerned, no. They wouldn't be. I adore MLK, but sit around and surf the internet. I want to be healthy as Anthony Anderson and Lokelani McMichael, but I eat junk, don't exercise, or do anything. I'm in awe of those who are spiritual, but don't even pray on a regular basis. I adore amazing writers such as Richard Rodriguez, but don't even write or read regularly.

Yes, there are things they would be proud of, but does the good outweigh the bad? maybe, maybe not.

Love,
Leira Violet
