"Don't worry, baby.

Everything will turn out all right."

Oh, The Beach Boys. They're great.

Anyway, I had a cool realization today. I like myself. I mean, I knew this. I didn't dislike myself before or anything. I had days where I would be upset about my weight or something like that, but I never disliked myself, never had self-esteem issues, at least not since high school. It's just that I never really consciously thought about it. I just sort of lived life not thinking one way or the other. But, today, I went to visit Emily at Blue Sky, and I was wearing a pair of shorts. I haven't worn shorts since middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL. I've always thought that shorts would look awful on me, so I've never bought them until yesterday when I bought two pairs. She said, "Sarah, those shorts look good on you." I went to argue, because that's just what I do when someone gives me a compliment, but I didn't argue. I thought to myself, "You know, what? I do." So, I hugged her and said "Thank you." I realize that I'm not College Barbie. I'm not perfectly tan and a size 2. I don't have perfectly straight blonde hair. I don't shop at Hollister and American Eagle. But, I don't want to look like every other typical girl. I want to be me. I am wonderful the way I am. Plus, I'm fairly certain I have a pretty ballin' personality. =].

It was a good moment.

I love Emily Williams so much. She is truly my best friend.
