Change The Game.

If I was truly being honest with myself, at times I can be very insecure. My insecurity doesn’t stem from a place of not knowing who I am or what I’m worth, however. It comes from the fact that I am a person who values my smarts, my wisdom, and my experience over the sexuality that it seems is most important to the people around me at the moment.

Yes, I work out regularly and can pull off days where my smoking gun is set to “stun”, but it’s those days when I walk into a room ready to wow with my mind (and not necessarily my body) that I get flustered by how quickly I’m overlooked. Let’s face it, to some degree, we all care what somebody else thinks. If not, most of the time, we’d probably all be uncouth or nonexistent because the only people we’d ever have to answer to ever would be ourselves.

            Realizing this has put me in a place of contentment. Because I value my brains over my beauty, I will continue to cultivate the beautiful garden I’ve been blessed enough to care for. Seeing how aesthetics plays such a major part in our lives, however, I think it’s high time I stepped my game up there too. There’s no harm in having the best of both worlds: wow ‘em with your body, then straight slay ‘em with your mind.

Sounds like a good way to start 2012.
