Dance As If No One Is Watching...#BrunoMars

 

I consider myself an independent person. I generally travel around solo hanging with different groups of people around Southern California. I definitely do not find it frightening to drive alone (I drove a 6-hour drive to Arizona by myself). This past weekend I traveled solo and my favorite thing about driving an hour or two alone would probably be listening to music. I sing jams out loud and forget that people may be watching me from their car in the next lane. While driving home today I decided to pop in my Bruno Mars CD and sang the whole playlist.

One of my favorite jams “Just The Way You Are”, blared from my speakers, and as I sang the song I thought about the lyrics. The only problem with this amazing song by the beautiful Bruno Mars may be that girls believe they need a man to sing this melody to them. After my last serious boyfriend, this song came out and I decided to sing the words to myself, “You are amazing just the way you are.”  I sang this to myself daily for a month and then once a week for about a year, I slowly began to believe the words that Bruno delivered to me at that right moment in my life when my self-confidence hit an all time low. One of the best things I ever did for myself and I highly recommend all girls practice this exercise at home. Once you believe the words of this classic song about yourself, the sooner everyone around you will begin to see you the same way. 

Don’t listen to “Just The Way You Are”, so much that you suddenly become a cocky biznatch. A happy medium between confident and humble should suffice. The general population accepts me, because I chose to finally accept myself and agree with Mr. Mars. Damn right I am amazing just the way I am. When you eventually realize all that’s great about you, most people around you start to think the same way and if they disagree with you’re outlook then f-them…just sayin’.
