Hey. I just saw "Penelope", the movie, and it got me thinking


The movie is about some rich man who was in love with a poor woman. He wanted to marry her, but she was merely a servant so his family made him forget it; and marry another woman who was rich. Turns out the poor girl's mother was a witch, and when her daughter killed herself she put a hex on the family, so that the next girl born would look like a pig in the face.


Well anyways, Penelope was pig faced and her parents weren't feeling it. Her mother faked her daughter's death to keep her out of the press, and kept her locked up in hopes of breaking the curse; which wouldn't happen "until someone with royal blood fell in love with her pig face all"...Turns out Penelope began to love herself and that love was enough to break her own curse amongst all the people trying to break her down cause she was different.


This got me thinking...Regardless of who you are, there is always somebody trying to keep you down. They will find anyway to do it. And most of the time, they try to bring you down for the very thing that makes you special. Its like they can sense that power and they want to take you down for it. They know you can go places with it, and want to make you think its a hindrance and not as blessing. At that point, you begin to take yourself down. Then one day, after you finally are brought to the point of getting rid of what makes you unique by way of substance abuse (if its your personality), seeing a religious therapist (if its your sexuality), a plastic surgeon (if its physical), etc., you find out that special thing that they, and you made, you change about yourself, is what you loved about YOU the most...And that's never ever sexy.


My advice. Love yourself more and treat yourself better. And if they are trying to bring you down, tell them to kiss your ass and give them their walking papers cause you don't need them.
