Own Yourself

I've heard mixed opinions about The Mindy Project, but I absolutely love the show and I love Mindy.  If she is even half the character she is on her show, I want her to be one of my best friends.  I started re-watching season 2 just as a sort of pick me up.  I'm not blue right now, but I think with the UCSB tragedy hitting so close to home for me, it's something better than seeing that sick boy's face and name all over the media still.  Seriously people, stop printing his name, stop sharing his video, and posting his picture.  The more you do that, the more he's now looking up at us and laughing that creepy laugh we've all heard by now, every time you do.

So yes, I turned to Mindy for comfort.  She is just such an honest, witty, and confident character--and that's what makes her absolutely BEAUTIFUL.  They say beauty lies within the eye of the beholder--or rather, Shakespeare said that--but so do flaws.  So own your beauty and own your "flaws."  Don't let anyone make you feel less than worthy.  

It's incredibly important for us to speak to ourselves in a positive manner, but sometimes we still need a reminder from our friends, or even people we don't know.  So, thanks, Mindy, for reminding me of that.  You be AWESOME.

BIG LOVE & HUGS

Love,

Justine
