The Little Things



Sometimes I just need to think about the little things I miss about people. Other times just the little things I love about life. It's all tangible mostly, and to appreciate life it helps to make a small list, so here is mine. Make your own and see where your happiness lies.
  • Rain on a summer evening
  • Drinking tea with good company, or alone with myself
  • Painting my nails a funky colour that I get from a friend
  • Playing soccer at all ours of the day or night
  • Looking up on a clear night and admiring the stars
  • Late night summer walks to nowhere
  • Hanes dry fit ankle socks
  • That moment of nervousness right before going onstage
  • Spending time at my cottage
  • Sudbury family Christmas
  • Reading a book in one sitting
  • Bubbles...I miss them
  • Cake
  • The smell of fresh laundry dried on the clothes line
  • Buying flowers...for myself. Cause no one else is going to :)
  • Dancing like nobody is watching, even if they are
  • A good game of Scrabble
  • Having a glass of wine after a long night/week
  • Listening to my brother and dad talk hockey while watching the game with a beer in my hand
  • Embracing the days I feel truly beautiful
  • Music
  • The feel of a fresh haircut
  • Blake's poetry
  • Waking up to a friends random funny text
  • Curling up in a warm, freshly made bed

What are yours?

Love who you are.

Recently I've been reading a lot of articles about "plus sized" models as well as critiques on "straight models". It seems as though the world is putting far too much emphasizes on peoples size, and I don't mean just being skinny.

I've struggled with weight since I gave up gymnastics and wasn't stick thin anymore (about the same time as puberty, 14). I got hips, boobs, a butt and that was scary. It's sad that young girls have no one to turn to about these issues, or none that are pertinent anyways. I just wanted to voice my opinion. Losing weight/gaining will mean nothing to you if you aren't making a change within yourself.

You may be superficially happy, but unless you understand why/who/what your doing it all for you'll never be happy, at least in my experience. I recently got up the courage to go and model. I am not a perfect size 00, nor would I ever want to be. I have learned to love myself, and I hope that you can too. Inside and out.
