Hey guys,
Soooooo, it has been a long time since I put anything up on here. To be honest, life happened I completely shifted gears with where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do with my life. To quickly catch you up on my life, I am still a full time student in college, I still live a lone but moved to a different apartment, I got first runner up this summer for Miss Puerto Rico 2014, I opened my own dance studio (I know!?! Crazy) and I work at a gift shop on weekends. Yeah, that is my life in a couple words. So as I was doing homework today I decided I wanted to get back into blogging, I have experienced and gone through things that I know people can relate to. I know that my purpose in life is to help others, which is why I decided to blog again.
Today’s topic is exactly what the title is, I currently don’t have any type of social life whats so ever. I haven’t gone out with “friends” since high school, which was in 2011….. crazy right?!?! Time and work is what I am constantly trying to keep up with, which has led me to not having any friends. So you may be thinking you have to at least have one friend and the answer is no. Owning a business especially a dance studio is difficult and rewarding at the same time. My family and students are my best friends, which I have no problem with. As you know in my previous blog posts I was bullied, which has led to trust issues with other people. I am constantly being cautious with who I surround myself with. And I have also gravitated toward children and family for any type of social enjoyment.
The point of todays post is for those who are out there feeling alone, depressed and worthless because you have no friends…..DONT. I would be lying to you all if I said I don’t get depressed some days, when I scroll through my Instagram and see picture of people having a great social life. But I have come to the realization that this is my life right now. This is where God wants me to be at this moment. I would rather have no friends than a bunch of fake friends, so to those who neglect your family and loved ones to be with friends, think twice about that decision. Family is not on this Earth forever, so try to find a happy balance between both friends and family.
Remember guys stay strong and work hard, Happy Monday!
-XOXO,
Stephanie
Many of you may or may not be aware of the picture that I posted beside this text. Well if you are not, this picture was recently released and caused outrage due to the excessive amount of photoshop they gave this model. All that she could look like she had a “perfect” thigh gap. (Come on it is a swim suit picture so of course they are going to photoshop until the model looks unrealistic). After seeing this picture and having already wrote a blog about this issue it makes me sick that this issue is still around. This picture not only sets unrealistic goals for girls and women all around the world, the sad part is that most girls who look at this picture don’t understand that it is impossible to look like this. And this is body was created with a computer. The amount of publicity this picture recieved gives me a little bit of hope that people still do care about our health and maybe this will be the first steps forward to create postive body images for girls and women everywhere. Photoshop is something that should be used for artistic purposes only, instead of creating eating disorders. To all the girls and women out there who were innocently shopping on targets website and had to come across this disturbing picture just know that this picture was created with a computer. And to the model who had her body distorted just know that it is not you that has to change, it is the person you changed you!
