Lyssa answered Tuesday July 10 2007, 8:00 pm:
People often want to be like somebody else. Especially girls. Especially teenage girls. I used to want to be like my girlfriends when I was a kid, but I think that's only because I didn't know who I really was, and wanted to be like someone I knew and liked. If you have a lot of fears, it is hard to like yourself. It's hard to want to be yourself if you are the one people are making fun of, or treating not too kindly.

To like yourself, you've got to be yourself, and for that you have to be self-realized. Maybe you have some dreams to achieve, or fears that need facing. My advice is to start there. Today you may be a girl who doesn't know who she is; who's got some problems she doesn't know how to deal with, and dreams that's hard to manifest. Maybe you don't really like that girl, but if you give it some effort... hell, if you give it your all, tomorrow you can be the girl who has put her 'big girl' panties on and faced her fears and all the nasties, because that's how you're finding out the good stuff about yourself. That's the part where you become who you want to be.

By doing something you were afraid you don't have enough strength to do, you're setting free the parts of you that were held prisoners by your hesitance or shyness. Somebody once said, "What you get by reaching your destination is not as important as what you become by reaching it." Maybe right now you're not the girl you dream to be, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a part of that girl's journey.
