"We accept the love we think we deserve."

I love this quote, absolutely love this. Because no truer words have ever been written.
Everyday, girls get up super early in the morning to do their hair, makeup and find the perfect outfit to wear to school, or to work. They spend maybe an hour on their make-up, trying to make it look just perfect, so maybe today someone will notice, accept them, love them.
When I say love, I don't just mean the romantic type of love, I also mean the kind that can come from a best friend, a sibling, or a parent. Love meaning acceptance, being truly wanted in todays society.
Everyone fights for acceptance, and some people succeed and some fail miserably, and some do it without even realizing they're doing it. I don't go to a normal school, I stay home and do it, I wander around the house in sweat pants and a tee shirt. I almost never do my hair in the morning, just tossing it into a bun, making it work, I rarely put make-up one when I'm at home, I run around like a completely idiot, yelling and screaming like I'm dying, but I won't do something like that when I'm out in public? I mean, it really depends on where I am. If I'm with my friends, the yelling is to a minimum, but the being crazy. ALL.TIME.HIGH. I have learned that I don't so much care about what people think about me, I'm being myself (a toned down version) but still myself. I want to make a REAL impression on someone, not a fake one.
When we actually broach the subject of being fake, or changing to become excepted, people normally shut you out or they become very defensive. It's not easy being told that you're not acting like yourself, just to fit in. Because in reality everyone wants to be accepted, and everybody wants to be wanted. I myself am not even immune to that desire; especially being a young woman, I still want that, for boys it's not nearly as bad, but girl struggle with it so much.
Girls, (in my opinion) can be completely ruthless sometimes, everything in our world involves being better then someone else, wanting to look the best so that you can be loved, and accepted by other women. Horrible girls do play a huge part in bulling, girls that may not have as much money, who don't wear the best cloths, or who look just so perfect can get made fun of, teased, to the point of madness (and bulling is another big issue).
I think as I close this blog post, (that I'll admit, is very overdue) I'll say again, accept it, accept love, because it's one of the best gifts in the whole world, maybe someone loves you just the way you are, mad as a box of cats; but you're to consumed with yourself image to really and truly realize that.
