So, I've something to tell you and honestly, it's a little creepy. I went to the public pool today with Avalon and I was a little late. As soon as I came in Avalon comes running-- well, fast walking, no running by the pool-- over to me and the first thing she says is:
"Hi. Guess who's here!" Somehow my gut told me who it was. Before I could even answer she blurts out "Barry! See, over at the diving boards in the green shorts."
As soon as I heard her say it I was a little weirded out because literally the night after Avalon invited me (last night) I dreamt that that happened! After that I was all smiley inside and self conscious.
About halfway through our swim I realized that-- omgoodness my top wasn't as tight as I thought and when I was in the water you could see my stomach. Now, I didn't even tell Avalon this (I know she's reading it now) but I felt so weird. Even if I was aloud I wouldn't where a bathing suit with a top that didn't cover my stomach. I'm not the tiniest girl in the world so it's not attractive if I would. I felt so weird.
That's when I had the thought that: guess what. If Barry doesn't like me because I'm not teeny tiny, then he's not worth it. Though I'm pretty sure he isn't that shallow. He's to nice a guy to judge a girl like that.
If you are in my position, keep in the back of your mind that if a boy doesn't like you the way you are, he's not worth it. If he doesn't like you the way God made you, that he's telling God
"Hey, you messed things one up. She's not the way I'd like her to be." Well, guess what girls if a boy cares more about his own standards than God's standards, forget him. I think that whoever it is could use a lesson about how God made you. Absolutely perfect.
