Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
Often times you can see a beautiful person, talk with them and even go out with them a couple times and have this glorified version of who they are. Then when you meet them 3 years later and they are still single you think you have hit the jack-pot. Because your own Mr. Dreamy is now interested in you, what could be better right? This is a real conversation word for word as to why every my Mr. Dreamy is not dreamy at all but in fact a jerk, just looking for a piece.
Mr. Dreamy: "If I wanted to kiss would you" (don't get confused cuz he can't use punctuation, he is asking if I would kiss him if he wanted to kiss me, real romantic I know)
Me: "I've got a 3 date rule prince charming."
Mr. Dreamy: "haha ok"
Me: "So you've got three dates to think about planning before you can think about kissing."
Mr. Dreamy: "Yayaya. You are not rebellious then." (We were talking about me being a rebel cuz I didn't go to a church fireside.)
Me: ";)" (Yes this was a conversation through text because why would I be cool enough to talk to face to face for any man) (ok...that was very sarcastic and a bit un-true, there is one man who is man enough to talk to me face to face.)
Mr. Dreamy: "See"
Me:"There was a time when I would have jumped at the chance. But older wiser Lindsey knows better. There's a difference between a man wanting you and wanting a piece of you. I'm not saying you are that way, I'm just much more careful than I used to be."
........and nothing no response. Yep, I called him out and he got offended. I am not about to waste time on a man, no matter how great I thought he was(because he obviously wasn't), if he doesn't think I am worth getting to know. Especially if that means blowing off the actual man of my dreams who is right in front of me. I am just irked that he thought it was ok to act like that. I don't care who you are, no man should ever treat a woman like that. So, here is to Mr. Dreamy being anything but dreamy, but in fact a man who just wants a piece. And people wonder why I am so cynical towards members of the opposite sex at times...when you get treated like an object and not a person you tend to react poorly.

BE BEAUTIFUL YOU!
People inspire me. They make me want to be better, to do better. In my dress and humanities class we have been challenged to make a change in the world. It's not something required of us, but it is something I want to do. I have the strongest desire to change the world. To see the beauty in all things. I want to make the world a beautiful place. To make people happy, and feel good about themselves. I want to make an impact for good on this earth. That's been one of my biggest dreams for awhile, I'm just not entirely sure how to make it happen. There are plenty of amazing organizations that provide to benefit people around the world. For example:
The United Way
Universities Fighting World Hunger
FEED Projects
Invisible Children
Think Pink, Inc.
World Food Programme
These are all amazing organizations, and truly help people. But the change that I hope to make in the world is confidence. There are so many people in this country and the world that are depressed and not comfortable with who they are. They hate their weight, their personality, the stupid decisions they make, when truly they are beautiful people who have so much potential. I just want to point out how truly amazing they are. A confident person is capable of doing many things that they could have seen as impossible before. Weight, body features, personality, stupid decisions and the like do not stop us from doing something incredible. With the right amount of desire a person can do anything they set their heart and mind to. I say heart because if you back everything you do with love, I believe anything is possible. Recently in an English class I wrote a paper titled forging against the media's perception of beauty. In that paper I prove how much our lives are impacted by the media, and how the media destroys the view people (mostly women) have of themselves. Being a woman who has suffered from the self-doubt and insecurities of not being "good-enough" according to the world's standards I know how tough it is. It makes you feel that no matter what you do, it will never be good enough. But the truth is we are all SO amazing. We are all different and have different talents and abilities that others don't even dream of having. Our potential is limitless.
Beauty Redefined
I LOVE this organization, this is something I stand for completely, because it is something I battle on a daily basis. Beauty Redefined is taking a stand against what we are told to think and be viewed as and who we really are, and how amazing we are. I think this is completely phenomenal, and I want to create a change in this world. I want to make people happy to be WHO they are, not trying to be someone else. I want to start some sort of movement, but I am not sure how to go about it. So any advice and people willing to help would be great! Thanks!

Adoption
This song warms my heart. Many probably don't know this about me but I have the strongest desire to adopt a baby from another country one day. It maybe funny to some, but to me it's so very important and it's one of my biggest dreams in life. To give love to a child who otherwise wouldn't have it.
