Let it be

I like to "people watch". Yes, I might be that person sitting in the middle of the mall "acting" like I am just waiting for a friend...but really I'm wondering what's going on with you. Questioning if your power went out because of what you picked to wear, or why you look like your going to punch the next person in the face if they get in your way...oh yes, saw someone like that today...Yikes! I wonder why we're so fascinated by people, where they come from, where their going, what's their story. You get what I'm saying.

Well the reason I bring this up is because I did that today. A pair of pants I purchased a month ago are to big. To big to the point that even a belt won't help! (Sweet) I took them back to the store that I purchased them from....side note about returning things it's FRUSTRATING. Why, because what you paid for them a month ago ISN"T what you get back...I'd go on about that but that's not my point. Anyways, I took the pants back and exchanged them for something else-in a smaller size. :) But while I was waiting to check out, in front of me was a mother and daughter waiting to pay. The daughter was probably 15-16 years old. At first I thought they where purchasing clothes for the mother, since I was at a store that has clothes for people over the size 14. But then quickly I was taken back when I realized that they where actually purchasing clothes for the daughter. The young girls face...one of embarrassment. How sad, I wanted to walk over and just say to her...this isn't it, this isn't what life is all about. We live in a world now-so different from when I was 15-16 years old-this world is fast food this, and fast that, and in a box this and rush through dinner, super size this and sugar that. It's not the life that a young adult should have-no one should actually.....when did all this spiral out of control?

I hope that soon in that young girls life someone or something will take hold and she'll be able to feel confident about herself and her body. Doing this life change for me isn't only for me-but it's for my daughter...that she will learn young the right things...the right way and that I'll do my best to teach her the things she'll need to make better choices then I did.
