What does it take for a somebody to be a someone?

Does it take fame and fortune or work in the broiling sun?

Does it take a rich father or outrageously smart wit?

Does it take good looks or respecting the environment?

How about a pure heart, self-less eyes, or a kind tongue?

Or is that too lackluster for everyone?

Love,
Leira Violet

Hello Loves,

The hardest thing for me to learn is to have an idea or believe something that nobody else agrees with and stand alone. I have this giant desire to fit in, to have connections with people, that I will sometimes belittle or hide the belief or idea.

I really want to be able to disagree with everyone and still feel complete, not needing reassurence from other people.

I'm always in the closet about something. Yes, everybody may know that I believe one thing or another, but having an in-depth conversation with someone I don't know very well and be able to hold my own is nearly impossible. For the most part I keep my ideas and beliefs to myself due to fear.

I don't want to becom extreme and end up closed minded, thinking my way is the only way. I'm a very open person. I almost pride myself on it. I have that skill down pack. Dealing with this issue, it is unlikely that I will lose my willingness to be open. Although being open is a good characteristic to have, I may be too open.

When it boils down, it is about being comfortable in my own skin. Another issue I'm still dealing with. Knowing that I'm not stupid for saying this or that and that I'm completely fine the way I am with all my beliefs, thoughts, and ideas.

What is the hardest thing for you to learn?

Love,
LeiraViolet

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
