Today I bought new underwear!

You probably just read the title of this and thought this was a very strange post. If that is what you're thinking, then you'd be right. This is an unusual post, and I'll tell you why; This morning I woke up feeling self-conscious. Yes, I admit it. I looked in the mirror and thought I looked bad. Halfway through self-critism, I caught and scolded myself for doing so, because I generally go out of my way to stop this from happening. You've probably done the same thing. As girls, we are constantly being compared to others, and being told that we are not pretty enough, too shy, or whatever else. We are forced to pretend we don't care, even though we do, and we begin to believe these things.  Today my hair was greasy and messy, no matter how much I brushed it. I told myself to deal with it and face the world anyway. And guess what? I did. I went to the mall to make me feel better (shopping always puts me in a good mood) and I bought myself new underwear. In fact, I'm wearing them right now. And they make me feel good. You should try it sometime.
