Pretty Pretty Please!!!

SUNDAY'S LYRICS
Individuality is possibility one of the most beautiful things about people.  It is what distinguishes us from each other.  Yet, too often people are striving to be like someone else or what they think other people want them to be. 

I truly believe that the path to happiness lies in: “BEING yourself” and “LOVING yourself.”  Often these sentiments are spoken, but rarely realized.  They seem so simple, but why is it so hard for people to do?  

Really and truly what any and everyone wants in life, is to feel important… to feel like they matter.  And LOVE provides this answer.  However, the love that we seek actually must be obtained from within first!  You must truly love yourself for WHO you are and AS you are, to know happiness.  Otherwise, you’ll always be searching; never truly feeling fulfilled… just a walking shadow of yourself.

(And I’m not talking about arrogance or this false self-confidence some people exude.  Outwardly, you may have some people fooled, but you can’t trick yourself.  Being this way is not authentic, and is too easily disrupted by the opinions of others.)

 I had heard “Perfect” by Pink many times on the radio… but never really listened to words.  Finally, this past week I found myself really LISTENING to the words and realizing how simple yet true the lyrics spoke.  Honestly,

"Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me!"

I am constantly meeting amazing and beautiful people inside and out.  And my wish is that you and everyone, really know and understand just how perfect you are, as you are!

Have a blessed life,

Nicole

PERFECT by Pink

Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss knowing it's all good, it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me!

You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look how big you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing

You're perfect to me

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?

Why do I do that?

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty please!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me.
