After much too loooooonnnnnnng a silence Emily feels like writing about an interesting experience that occured in her life like.......2 minutes ago. So Emily's BIG SISTER nicely bought Emily a really nice (and cute) pair of jeans for no apparent reason. Emily got excited. REALLY excited.....But then she tried them on.

 

She shouldn't have tried them on.

 

She really shouldn't have tried them on.

 

Instead, she should have driven back to the store returned the pants and with the money bought a nice EXTRA LARGE t-shirt to fit her (now oh-so-apparent) EXTRA LARGE body.

 

Sigh.

 

Now Emily as any teenage girl has her up's and down's with body image and you've probably heard her rants about the media and our culture, but for some reason the fact that the pants don't fit didn't make her feel insecure insidebut rather more secure. For some reason or another Emily felt like rebelling against the pants (They weren't THAT nice & cute anyway...). She feels like eating perfectly respectable side of mashed potatoes thankyou very much. She feels like believing God when he wrote that she is "fearfully and wonderfully made". She feels like concentrating more on the fact that she got all A's last trimester (Ok mostly all A's, that's another story...) and that her friends genuinely care about her and that her hair looks like fire and that she can do anything she wants to. And it doesn't matter if that means consuming a hot fudge sundae, or painting the sunset, or dancing under the stars, or hugging random passerbyerpeople. She'sEmily. And that's...well...that. So there! Take that you size 6 pants! RAWR!

 

...tehehe...
