Self Image: My View

I think that self-image is an important view of how you see yourself and how you want the world to see you. I think you have to trust in yourself that you are who you are and you can`t change that about yourself. There are so many people around you that love you for you. You parents, your best friend, your grandparents, your teachers, your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, your classmates, and God. There are mirrors in this world for a reason, God put a mirror in your room for a reason. Not to lower your self-esteem, not to lower your self-confidence, but to trust yourself in how you look. My first class assignment on self-image was to do a study on Eve, form the Bible. My teacher gave us a sheet of paper that had questions to answer. I think that the hardest question to answer was,"Do you think Eve is a role model?" There are so many ways to answer that question. You can say yes and you can say no both with good reason. To answer that I said both. Yes, I do think Eve is a role model because she shows us that we have to love one another and we have to love what God gave us. We should love God`s creations because he made them for us. Eve shows us how we can help one another and she shows us how to obey. She did make a sin but I think that that was a part of God`s plan. Cause I can not imagine a world where there would be no sin and everyone would be perfect in every way. That just doesn't seem right. And then I think that Eve is also a bad role model because she shows us how we can run and hide from God and not confess to our mistakes. But we should be doing exactly the opposite. We should be confessing our mistakes and sins and not hiding from God or one another. Now, you are probably wondering how this connects to self-image. But it really does. Your self-image is based off of your actions and based off of your characteristics. Your self-image is created by you and you alone. You create your own self-images by the people who admire or look up to. When you think to yourself, "I want to look like her," you eventually start turning your self in that direction, and it happens over and over again because every time you look at a famous person or you see someone looking nice down the street, your gonna try your hardest to do what you can to look like that. And it happens to everyone, it just happens, you can`t really stop yourself from doing it. Famous people like Taylor Swift or Kelly Clarkson or Brad Pitt or Channing Tatum, they are all going to do it to.... They are going to do it to one another. And that`s just how life works. We wish we could look like one another but in reality, YOU HAVE TO BE YOU! You have to look and think like you. You have to act like you. You have to accept you. I have recently learned that because there is a guy at my school who likes me for me, because I am being myself. When I learned about him liking me, I didn't want to change how I was acting or my looks or my personality because someone likes me just the way I am. 

So, to sum it all up, I think that you should look in the mirror every morning and ask yourself "How do I want to look?" Because being you is important and people care about you just the way you are. So don`t change. Take my advice or leave it.... It`s all up to you.
