Hello, my lovely people! I guess I should say as a preface that I am sorry for taking so long to post! BUT there is much in store for this blog! Not only did I post yesterday AND today BUT I also re-designed the blog! I want to keep it this way for the week that I am in the big U (which is next week). My goal is to start blogging regularly again and even more than just once a week, so there's something for you to look forward to! Anyway, for the next two weeks I will be posting more AND I will be participating in Blog Everyday in April this year!
Anyway, this post contains THREE parts: fashion (skip this if you so wish), compliments, and mockery.
PART 1: FASHION
My sister (my lovely sister) has wonderful style but she quickly outgrow her clothes and gives some of them to me! So, I can now say that I am starting to actually put effort into my fashion. Today I wore a flowery tank top that I ABSOLUTELY adore! And tomorrow I plan to wear this pair of pink pants I have now and this white polka dot shirt. I really look forward to it now! The fun thing for me is expressing myself and knowing that my fashion is perceived as unique. I like knowing that people understand my personality and character simply from my fashion sense. Many people don't feel the need to express themselves through their clothing but I feel like it's a good way to look nice and try to attract attention (not like in the stealing the spotlight way but in the small compliments way:: see in next part).
Fashion is not only and art but an everyday way of helping others form opinions of one another. The way a person dresses can really affect the way a person is seen. The reason I'm trying to put my fashion in order is because I want to be someone people look up to for style in high school because my sister likes being that way and I like that idea.
PART 2: COMPLIMENTS
Recently a guy asked me if it was true that girls only remember the bad things people say to them and not the compliments. I told him this most certainly was not true. He asked me to list five compliments I'd gotten, which I gladly did. I guess for some it doesn't work like that but I have to say that when someone compliments me, I take it to heart because I realize that not everyone will like what I do, wear, or say, so I have to be happy when people do. This is the mindset I use when I enter something; when I perform in a show, or perform a song I wrote. If people like it, I accept the compliments and accept the criticism. I just found it interesting that that was something people said.
PART 3: MOCKERY
Here's a simple way to stop someone when they're mocking you. This is a technique I've found myself using lately. I swear, this is the easiest thing for you to do when someone mocks something you said. For instance, today during art I said something in a sing-song-y and the guy next to me mocked me. So I turned to him and said to him, and I am not kidding, "Don't mock me, please.". He looked at me for a second before just walking away. I swear that it works.
Remind me to talk about telling people to shut up and dance class.
Love,
Rex
