So if you haven't heard of the #LittleThingsChallenge, it's started obviously from 1D's new song, 'Little Things'. You can watch this on the previous blog post!
Anyway, the challenge is to write some insecurities about yourself that you may hate. And the point of this isn't to make yourself feel bad, or show the world how imperfect you are; so many people have taken part in this challenge, and THAT shows A) how many active directioners are, B) how insecure people can get, and C) how WAY similar we all are as humans to have insecurities.
In addition to this, as to not make this depressing, you must write some things about yourself that you love. Could be anything. And don't worry about boasting. At this point, loving yourself is the best thing you can do.
And if you want, which I will actively try to do, is to find something beautiful in my day, whether it be an act of kindness, a song, quotes, nature, etc. I will create a page linked to the right side of this blog soon to write all my 'Little Things' in. So watch out for that!
If it's something you're interested in doing, I highly encourage you to.
Because I'm 100% positive that someone out there really thinks you're beautiful... It's true, you are. And all the things about you that you hate.. well, it'll be someone's favorite thing about you.
Okay, so I guess I'll start up with mine! And yeah, I was a bit hesitant to post this because I know a couple of people who follow this blog so kinda awkward there, but I think all you directioners with twitters that I've gotten to know might find this helpful in their situation. I even heard that the challenge saved this one girl's life as she saw what everyone goes through, especially when addressing what you 'hate' about yourself.
That's the power of five very talented guys who sing with passion, and one buddy of theirs with the amazing skill of writing.
Alrighty, here it goes...
I've got to admit that I have multiple insecurities. Silly ones, maybe.
One of them is how short my legs are. Because I'm short, they're short. Not much explanation there haha.
Another is probably my stomach/thighs. That general area is just in need to change. Absolutely hate them.
And that leads to my weight. I've got a low metabolism, so I can pretty much gain 102043049342 pounds overnight. Before high school, I never really watched what I ate; I wasn't aware. But as I started going to the gym and working out, I found that I started to look at calorie count, carbs, trans fat, etc. It's like an addiction. And I've lost some weight, but not to the point where I'm happy with myself. Not quite yet.
Those three are my main ones. Others are just like, how dumb I can get, how my laugh is REALLY loud it's embarrassing, and stuff like that. And like, my face in general. I feel like I'm always making such weird faces all the time.
I kinda dislike it when people call me 'cute' and all. Don't get me wrong, it's nice of you, but I've been getting told that more and more and I just feel like it's now people's way of saying "Oh, you're a wittle bitty girl, so innocent and young." And it's probably true. But I don't really see how that's cute, to be honest. It isn't my 'humor' either. I don't make people laugh because of my jokes. People laugh at me for eating in class and being stupid. At this point, the usual thing to say is "SORRY I'M NOT PERFECT. And sorry I'm hungry all the damn time. Not my fault!" ...but I'm not even going to apologize for something about me. Not even going to say sorry. I've accepted it, you need to also. It's funny the first time, get over yourself.
And for my friends, if you happen to read this, don't think it's you. I wouldn't write mean stuff about you <3 When we laugh at me, it's actually funny, ya know?
And that concludes my insecurities. On to my favorite things about me -
So I found that this list is a bit longer than my insecurities. Some girls would think that it's because I'm not aware of them, but I am. I've just learned to accept and love them.
For example, my cheeks. They're chubby and rosy and stuff, but whatever. I used to hate them and be conscious of them, but one day, I was like "Screw it." and now I love them! Weird, huh? Anything like that happen to you?
Another thing I love is kinda my personality. I kinda love my personality. My friend Megan asked me why I take crap from people, like when they laugh at me, and it only dawned on me then that I don't really care. I seriously don't. Talk about my insecurities behind my back, it's fine with me. You know they're there. I know they're there. What's the big deal? You point them out as if I don't already see them. BUT I DO. Of course, words hurt from time to time, but I really try not to let it get to me. And fortunately, for the most part, they don't.
I love how short I am. Yeah, I sorta mentioned it in my insecurities, it's a love/hate relationship. But it's nice to be short in many ways. Like one thing is that I don't have to worry about height differences with guys. It's great, really. But not like it matters right now, as there are no guys hangin' around hahaha.
Aaaand I love how easily I smile. I don't have a great smile, but I love it nevertheless. I can smile at anything. I found that this can actually be a struggle for some people, so I'm thankful I can smile so easy, and smile so real.
So this concludes my blog post! Hope you guys like it, and I REALLY REALLY REALLY do encourage you to do so. Please DM me, comment below, etc. if you had written one, because I'd love to read it <3
I'd also like to say I do love 'Little Things' so much to the point where (I was talking to my friend with this earlier) that I'd get a quote from the song tattooed on me. Not a huge one, but a tiny one, maybe circling around a heart or something. Long-term thing. And I'd also want it to be played at my wedding as the slow song. :)
I learned I REALLY needed to hear the song and its lyrics and meanings. Basically, 'Little Things' was the original Challenge as it listed insecurities of this girl. But as you've quickly learned, they are things a guy would truly love endlessly. Because it's a part of you, they add up to you, and he loves YOU.
