Love Yourself

Don't let anyone put you down. You will always be skinnier and always be fatter. Your hair will always be nicer and always be nappier. You'll never be as tall or as short as you'd like.
For those women who have "it" all.. They only have looks and money, but the real question is;
Does that woman have real friends, such as friends who cry with her, friends who hate her boyfriend because hes just not good enough for her? Friends who make her laugh til beer spews out her nose?

Does this woman know the meaning of home? The story behind the hole in the wall.. or the tiny finger prints on the wall from children playing? The days where air conditioning is too cold but just opening up the windows is too warm?

How about family? Does she remember the smell of homemade pumpkin pie.. or uncle Bob dressing up as Santa Clause? Will she remember helping her mom string up the Christmas lights and almost breaking her leg sleigh riding? How about hot chocolate with the marshmallows?

Does she get Food Lion Brand flowers or cookbooks for her birthday? Does her mom bake her a homemade cake for her birthday? Does her family call her and sing her the song? Does her dad wish her a sweet 16th birthday on her 15th birthday? Better question, was he even there on her birthday?

Best question of all.. does this girl know the feeling of love? Does she have a baby sister who takes time everyday to send an email signed with I miss you and I love you - even though she is in Kuwait? Does she have a dad who acts as master chef and gets thrilled at the thought of a delightful dinner? How about a mother who lives for her children? A mother who would die if anything ever happened to her?

I bet that girl who has everything.. has nothing but a nice smile and a great body.

Next time you want a piece of the chocolate cake.. eat it.. and don't forget to share it with your friends and family.. and laugh about it..
