This week has been pretty uneventfull. Just playing my insturments and drawing. my brother had come down from GP so we hung out. Actually, we went quading and we come across a puddle,(massive understatment) and Daniel just went through it and managed to sink the quad. Had a great time laughing. Here’s something I drew this week.
I have been drawing for only about 6 months and I’m not that good. This is my first tribal, which didn’t really go that well, but I figured I’d share it.
Where self-image starts
I was listening to the radio a few weeks back and the DJ had shared an interesting fact. 90% of women don’t think that they are beautiful. She had asked the listeners to share their thoughts on this tidbit. One lady had called in saying that women are just that modest, we don’t want to seem vain. WHAT!?! My first thought was, Us as humans are so full of pride that very, very few people think that way. Definitely not 90%. Another caller came one and this man had it straight. As long as there are airbrushed models on the cover of magazines at the supermarket checkout, people are going to feel bad about them selves. “And those who don’t need to wake up and smell the coffee.” Well said.
Not only does magazines affect our self-image, but so do our fathers and father-figures. Our dads need to tell us that we are beautiful. Unfortunately, not many do. My dad doesn’t but he is also very quiet and doesn’t share much about what he feels. Too many times have teenagers had a boyfriend because they had no father figure. They want to feel needed so they lay down and do whatever their boyfriend wants so that he doesn’t leave her. That’s how my friends go pregnant.
We as women need to understand that God created us and if we think we are ugly, than we are telling Him he made a mistake. God doesn’t make mistakes.
Stellar is born!
So, My name is Stephanie and I am a normal teenager living in north Alberta, Canada. And no I don’t live in an igloo, you have to go about 1,000 km further north. I will be writing about things close to me. From snowboarding, paint balling and dirt-biking to Knitting and quilting to life issues. So keep an eye out for Stellar Stephanie’s life bits.
My blog days are (at least for now) going to be Fridays.
5 things that you might want to know about me.
#5. I love graphic tees, here’s is a picture of my favorite.
Do you have a favorite graphic tee, whether you have it or want it. :)
#4. I love action, violent, guy flick-type movies. I saw the Avengers last Saturday and it is one to be watched.
#3. I love anything that gets my heart pumping and adrenaline going.
I paintball with my friends every two weeks and snowboard in the mountains with my dad whenever we can. Every summer I go Dirt-biking in the mountains with my family.
#2. I love to have fun with my family and friends.
I have good clean fun. Movie nights, and whatever else we can find to do.
#1. dun dun dun. Just kidding. I adore dancing. Hip hop to be exact and I’m pretty good at it. I preformed at a school talent show and the roaring crowd. Maybe it was just me but it seemed that everyone was screaming and cheering. But when I dance I just like I can express my self better than words.
So, ya thats abit about myself and tune in next week for more. Feel free to photo reply your favorite graphic tee.
