Lacrosse Pictures

These are two pictures from rainy day lacrosse practice. The one with less people is some of just my team and the one with more people is both of the U15 girls lacrosse teams.

I Was Inspired By These Pics

Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated

The way some people act disgusts me. Please don't be one of those people. Please be nice, considerate, and polite. Treat others how you want to be treated. Trust me if I treated some of the people that treat me like crap they would be a mess if they got a taste of their own medicine. Sometimes I wish they would. But no one deserves to be treated like that, so I'm not going to stoop to their level.

Why Do We Label People?

So today in history class my teacher brings up racism. He asked our class to answer these three questions:
1. Why do we label people?
2. Have you ever labeled someone?
3. Have you ever seen another person label someone else? If so, how did you react?
Now this was a daunting task. Not to say it was hard to answer, but we tend to ignore labels. Whether it is a sexual orientation label, a gender label, or a a race label, WORDS STILL HURT. A lot of people think that it is funny to call someone a faggot or the "N word". Even if it is a joke it is still derogatory. So comment with your answer, or thoughts about WHY DO WE LABEL PEOPLE?

Size Is Just A Number

http://pinkpiddypaws.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/perfection.jpgJust because you are not a size 00 doesn't mean you are below "the standard of beauty". The "standard of beauty" in media are those double zeros and extra smalls. In all friken reality, that is not true! So what if you are not that 00 or that extra small, everyone grows differently. Plus, all the pictures of models are completely photo-shopped and edited, sure they look stunning but it is not real life. Being in middle school I think it is really tough to push out of the so called "standard" that media has surrounded us all with. Girls my age always out looking for the "perfect" boy, or the "popular" boy. Girls squeeze into small sizes, look at diets, even have eating disorders because they want to look "pretty". All because they want to get that boy. It has to stop it's making these girls sick. So one day I hope that we can open up the boundaries of "beautiful" to start from the inside out. That is my inspiration, to be able to make everyone be happy with who they are and how they look, especially at my age, to stop these girls from hurting themselves. I have five words  SIZE IS JUST A NUMBER.

' “I saw this on someone else’s wall. So many things wrong with this – why is a size 12 considered plus size in the plus-size model industry when that is not even a plus-size in regular stores? And a size 6 is considered fat for regular models? BTW I think the size 12 model looks gorgeous.”

No kidding. I wear a size 12. Have worn a size 12 since I can remember. The majority of women that I know are at least a size 10 and higher and I can count on one hand the friends of mine who are in the single digit sizes.

Yet mainstream world still wants to consider us overweight, plus size and that we should constantly be striving to look like the emaciated size 0 model.

Raising girls, I’m challenged every day to help them define what a healthy body image is when they’re faced with magazine and TV images of what advertisers want us to think is normal. I decided from the get go that I wouldn’t be the parent who made them “clean their plate” before they got up from the table. We don’t use dessert as an incentive to finish dinner and we try to keep the house full of healthy options for snacking. I will kick them out of the house, lock the doors and insist they run around like wild kids so they get some exercise more exhausting than changing games out of the Wii.

But that’s where I stop being maniacal about it. I don’t want the focus to be on their size but rather their health and I surely don’t want them to look at the cover of Seventeen and think that’s the standard they should be shooting for...." quote from- Hey Society Get Your Opinions Off My Body (an adult wrote her opinion so I wanted to include and older more wise opinion too)

The argument to this entire thing is that people don't care about their health. My point is, every size and shape of every single girl should be allowed to love what they look like. Saying that, you can't throw your health out the window...so please, please, please, stay healthy. :)

Raindrops On A Windowsill

So I'm sitting on the couch in my apartment, and I look outside. I immediately think, crap its raining, I hate the rain. But it got me to think, how much is inspired by the rain, or at least water. So much of life needs and is inspired by rain and water. Photography is one, the water drops that are exploding out of a water pool is invigorating. Another is fashion, all the shades of blue gives off a calm aura. The fabric that is loose and sheer is inspired to move like water. Paintings and drawings of blue shades with smooth flowing lines gives me a feeling of grace. The point is, so much of life and more is inspired by water and rain. So now when you look outside and see the rain look past the gloom and see the light. http://sweetmama.ca/uploaded_images/Ying-Ju_Bianca_Liu_5th.jpg
