Impressions.

Looking back on my teenage years, I realize that I always sought to find favor and acceptance from all the wrong places. I had to wear pretty clothes, couldn't leave the house without makeup and straightened hair, and just being all around perfectly primped. It's seems silly thinking about it now. Whether it was to make friends, impress boys or make others jealous, I hadn't yet realized who I should really be seeking to impress. Having just turned 20, I still like to look my best on occasion but I gladly realize it's not about what people think. I no longer have to wear makeup at every waking moment, or have perfectly straightened hair, because I finally realize I'm beautiful in the way God made me. The teen years were the best and worst times of my life, but now it's time to set my sights on the bigger and the brighter, and look to impress no one other than the creator of the universe, and maker of my heart.❤️
