my thoughts on awkwardness

I am so awkward.

Everyone has it, everyone hates it. 

I've found through my measly 18 and a half years of existence that the awkward moment is hard to avoid. When you can come to terms with this, life is so much better. Lately, I've seemed to forget that I am indeed an average human and that I am not perfect. I was getting frustrated with myself when I would say something I found wrong or just plain awkward. But then I remember...awkward is a mental state. My roommate so cleverly pointed out that we often find ourselves in awkward situations, but that doesn't make you awkward. So I clung to this idea like a lifeboat in a drowning sea. 

Lately I've just felt like an awkward human. What can I say... maybe I am. 

Even writing doesn't feel natural this week for some reason.

I just feel like a big robot. that. is. so. darn. awkward.

So my goal for the week is to embrace my awkwardness. I will confront it by remembering that I'm comfortable in my own skin (and in my weirdness). sometimes we just need to be reminded of this. Because, once again, awkward is only a mental state that we make for ourselves. When I rely on God for strength and confidence, I find myself feeling oodles and bunches less awk. Simply put, when you are comfortable in your own skin, you glow with a beauty unlike any other. a true attractiveness that is understood , unmatched, and uncompromised.

peace and blessings my children
