10.27.09: Princess!

So I don't mean this to be long, but I thought I'd share with you that I've decided to live up to my the meaning of my name (princess).
Those of you who know me well know that I do not like my name. To me, it's ordinary, plain and boring (to those of you with my same name, I do not mean to insult you, it probably suits you very nicely). But, I do like the meaning. This part, is not so ordinary. In fact, the meaning is extraordinary. Its elegant, special, and... sparkly? hahaha.
So! I''ve decided to live up to it. I will live up to the meaning of my name, if it's the last thing I do.
Princesses are beautiful and graceful and kind. So, this is what I will be.
These are my resolutions, not necessarily in order of importance:
1. Have acceptable posture.
2. Be graceful.
3. Don't be so loud all the time, be quiet and thoughtful. Let words have meaning.
4. Be bold and confident.
5. Be kind to everyone.
6. Help more people.
7. Be graceful inside.
8. Be a servant to everyone I meet.
9. Be confident enough in myself not to have to be perfect all the time.
10. Be confident enough in myself not to rely on makeup to feel beautiful.
11. Know my identity in Christ is what defines me as a princess, not what I do or what anyone else says.

These are the things true princesses do. And I'm determined to be one, my name and my identity in Jesus demands it. And I'll oblige happily. ;)
I suppose this won't happen in a day, but I'll work on achieving these things one day at a time. It won't be easy, and though I don't plan to change it, my quirkiness may hinder things. So I suppose I'll have to be a quirky princess. ;)
Sorry if you're a guy and are bored to sleep right now! This is a post mainly for my gal-friends! Help me out, girls! If you see me doing not-so-princess-y stuff, call me out! Ok?
Well, gotta run! Talk to ya soon! xoxo
