new look on life

So this week has been an odd one...its been good and bad and I've recently just had a new look on life. I'm realizing that life isn't about what kind of car you have or how big your house is and how pretty it is inside.It not about the size of your clothes or what brand you are wearing. Life is about who rides in the car with you and who lives in the house with you. Its about the people who tell you that you look great even when you are in sweats with your hair pulled up. I dont know why we live our lives trying to impress everyone around us. Why cant we just impress ourselves. So what if your house doesnt have granite counter tops, or that your car makes a funny noise and didnt cost you $27,000. I've realized that I am happy with my life. I am happy with my '99 malibu that whistles at me, and I'm happy with my one bedroom apartment that I get to share with hubs. This is all I need right now. I dont need to compete with everyone else to make myself happy. Yeah I have my days where I want to be that size 2 girl...but who doesnt? I am ok with eating and being happy. I am happy just the way I am. I know this is one of those deep posts that people probably dont care to read but right now this is how I feel and I needed to get that of my chest. I hope that maybe I can help whoever reads this feel a little bit better about themselves. I am who I am and if people cant accept it, well then I'm over them, because I accept it.
