Things That Shine

Yesterday we went to the mall to exchange some pants for a bigger size (cuz my momma still thinks I'm a size 7 in Juniors, flattering). When we finished I remembered that I've been wanting to find a red lipstick that would look good on me, so we went to the Macy's make-up department. I had seriously bought like 5 shades previously and gave them all away cuz they looked so awful! Anyways I had this lady help me and she had me try some one, and ohhh goodness. I had never seen myself look so bombshell pretty! Not to brag, but I felt real good about it. So we got some. Chance said he liked it, and it seemed like I felt a little more confident with it on. He's kinda sweet like that. So this morning I woke up and decided I wanted to wear my red lipstick today. Usually I stick to pretty conservative colors, so it was a little different at first and I was almost self-conscieous about it. Around afternoon I went out to run errands and I had to run by Walmart. As I was walking in I heard a girl say "Look at all that make-up she's wearing!", and I was the only person who'd walked in so I'm pretty certain she was talking about me. I felt sooo aweful I wanted to just get my stuff and leave! I walked with my head down for the rest of my time there, when I remembered a lyric from one of Taylor Swift's songs called "Ours".

" People throw rocks at things that shine".

And I thought how appropriate that is in this situation! I felt way better, and told myself that she threw rocks at me because I shine.

So that's my thought for today. If people throw rocks at you, its because you shine.
