Crazy- Unique, Wild && free to be me.
I do my best every day to become more and more like Christ. I like to take and edit pictures, play sports and hang out with friends. I write in my journal almost everyday. I have my life written down since 7th grade. Once and a while i find myself writing a blog - sometimes they may be worth reading. (: check them out every now and then!

bahahaha. accurate. lol.
so, i have realized one thing. sike. 2. no. maybe 340957.
“and one day some dude is gonna realize how AUTHENTIC you are. we just have to get there.”
this is coming from one of my guy friends who i respect so much. he is completely incredible. you know, something about the word authentic REALLY hit me as a major compliment. i’m not saying this to make me out to be the coolest or whatever. i’m saying it to encourage Y O U.
too many people these days are fake. when we here the word “fake” we normally get an instant picture in our heads.. someone who is “better” than the rest of the world, yet is breaking inside. we never talk about the girls who are genuinely authentic.
when my friend told me “if i could describe you in one word thats what it would be.” it got me thinking, a lot.. what does and authentic person look like, and why does he see that in me (especially because we see each other one week every summer, and that’s it)?
authentic.
you see, i have this idea you could call it in my head that i am never going to let someone see me for what i’m not. i take it to the most extreme, and a lot of people don’t understand, so i often don’t bother to explain it. for example, makeup. i wear none. i mean, people ALL THE TIME try to get me to wear it to “enhance my natural beauty”. i don’t get it.. it isn’t enhancing ANYTHING - it’s destroying it. like, i am me. i’m who God made me. why would i want to try and “fix up” “improve” or “enhance” what God has done?
some people encourage me to just wear it.. i don’t. plain and simple. i won’t.
most girls wear it to attract boys. lol, well. i honestly do NOT want a guy attracted to my “beauty” first. i want a guy, any one for that matter, to be attracted to ME, not my outward fading image. Proverbs 31:30 is one of my life verses: Charm is deceptive, BEAUTY IS FLEETING, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. beauty goes away - no matter HOW beautiful you are. i wouldn’t want a guy to notice me for something that is simply going to fade away after a while. i want him to notice me for what will last forever - my character.
look, i know some of you are like, “seriously liz, it’s not that big of a deal..?” you know, i don’t go around preaching this PERSONAL opinion to everyone. i rarely even talk about it. i just simply feel very strongly about it. it might not be that big of a deal to me, but when someone says to me “wow, you look really cute today.” or when a guy says i’m beautiful, i will know that he isn’t referring to how i am wearing my makeup that day… he will be seeing ME, all of me. good bad, and in-between and think that I am beautiful. talk about a compliment?
i don’t know. i just think that when my GUY friend said to me, “how authentic you are” - it encouraged me, and brought a smile to my face.
hey guys, you’re not all dumb after all. lol JUST KIDDING! (:
