you are beautiful

One thing that saddens me when I see so many young girls refer to themselves as "fat", "ugly" or any other derogatory phrase and another issue which concerns me is seeing young girls cutting themselves. We live in a society in which has become so superficial and that we value the worth of young women [and men] by what material possessions they have or how they appear esthetically and you know it isn't always the case.
  So this is my message to all of the Pagers, Beliebers, and anyone else who are women and young girls...don't cut, don't be anything other than yourself; you're beautiful as is and if people are unable to see  your true beauty then they do not deserve to be a part of your life. I know this may seem difficult and believe me I know...I have been down a road more than what most could ever imagine.
  Girls, ladies, darlings, you are all worth so much in this world and we need to begin to think about us as a society how we interpret relationships with men, with our peers and with society. Habits are so hard to break I know especially in this big world but it can definitely start with each and everyone of us.
 Know that there is someone out there who cares.
  One of the reasons I began performing is because hoping to become a role model for some and inspire because I had no one really to do that for me and don't want people to feel alone in this world because know what that is like too. It's hard enough out there as is and all of the expectations in society. We're only human beings but we can be the best we possibly can.
  Being half  Native American there were hardly any role models for me growing up per say and being a dancer I always looked up to Maria Tallchief and the worst part was being bullied in school for one my parents didn't "match" and I look Native American so I was teased relentlessly. I had an accent [which to an extent has since gone away but still there occasionally] and my elder sisters even worse in school.
  In the end I just want girls and women to feel great about themselves you don't have to be society's standard for being "beautiful" because that varies from country to country and culture to culture and preferences. You are all fireworks...just shine know there are people here and rough times don't last forever...I know from personal experiences.

take care of yourselves


much love,

Natalie
