People always joke around about how blond i am .I always get ripped on. Like it's this joke, and i know they don't mean it, but yeah most times i believe it. But you know what, I may be simple, and i may be small and relatively powerless. I may have blond hair and i may not always say the smartest comments, I may have ADD, and i may make a lot of mistakes. But i think once i set all those things aside, i like to think i have a lot to offer people.

I may trip and stumble at work, i might screw up your orders but at least i can always raise a few good laughs. I may not be able to sit and study for hours on end, i may not be able to get the best marks on midterms, but give me an essay to write and i'll own it. I may have poor taste, i may wear clothes that don't always fit together, so maybe i like to wear converse shoes with dresses, but at least i value creativity. I may not be able to draw or paint master pieces, but my stick figure drawings make the best birthday cards ok.

I may be shy and act snobby and anti social, but sit me down with anyone and a cup of coffee, and i will listen and try and understand until you run out of things to say. I may not be the best at singing, or playing guitar, and my attempts at piano might be sad, but i believe in the power of music, and i will probably sing very loudly, and still play my guitar and piano because music heals. I may not be the best at writing, but it's my outlet.

I may not be stunningly beautiful, but i'm starting to see that none of that stuff matters anymore. I may not be your average girl at university but i'm learning its okay to be different; it's ok if you don't loveee going out to bars every single night and using the terminology "bitchesssss". I may not have my hair or makeup perfectly done, but i am real. I may not be in on all the happenings and gossip, but quite honestly i don't give a shit.

I may fail a lot, and i mean a lot a lot, But i believe in grace. I may be simple but i believe in love and i believe in joy. I believe you can change things if you really need to. I also think being simple and small and blond and clumsy and all that i am, i think that's ok. I like life is simple; and should be lived as such.




loose everything.
and find yourself.

Rae, all of these things combine to make you, you. You're not simple in a bad sense and you are beautiful and creative and bold and brave. Maybe none of that matters to you but these are only a few things that make people love you for you.
