reasoning: penny loafers are pointless... just like picture days. i think matty t. would agree.
the feeling is mutual. i hate you too. all you are is a beauty contest, but you mask the real beauty that a picture doesn't portray. all you see from a picture is a fake smile and the top of a shirt. can you say lame? unfair? completely opposite of what this person normally looks like? and another thing, what if you decide to come around when a whole bunch of people are having a bad day? all you're gonna get is straight faces and annoyed glares. what if you ruin a girl's entire life all because her yearbook picture turned out exceptionally horrible? or blind someone with your bright lights? or cause a geeky person to stay home because they're so embarrassed of their pimples or glasses or something? don't you think of anyone but yourself? do me a favor and replace yourself with an x-ray. an x-ray that shows all the good qualities behind those awful pictures. all the kindness, laughter, smarts, strength, persistence, hope, passion, and love. the things that really matter -- the things the whole world deserves to know. maybe then we'd realize that the name on your shirt, the zits on your face, and the number that's on the scale -- we'd realize all those things are worthless. maybe we'd see that we're all beautiful to Him. and that's all that really matters.
sincerely,
anna, the girl who wants x-ray vision

Love this!
That is an amazing thought. What if our school photos contained the X-ray of each of us? The inside. Not the outside. I love love love it.
very funny...you have a lovely unique view on things!It's so true how people base you on your outside. we all need to look within.
wellll......you are beautiful. :)
but I can see where you're coming from. *laughs* love you, AND this post.

hahah. head/desk, facepalm, and fail? you don't give yourself enough credit!! "yeah, you're amazing, just the way you are!" *head/wall* why am i quoting BRUNO MARS?!!
anyway, yes. you are quite the trend setter.
signed with a happy sigh,

This is so great, Anna! i honestly wish that we could have xrays of all of those great qualities within ourselves too because sometimes i'm really embarrassed to look at some of those old pictures from picture day, too... but i guess that it's our job to look past the acne and the dirty clothes and "uncoolness" of people and befriend them. Show them God's love even if it means losing our reputation in school. Anyways, AH-MAZING post, girl, and i love how you wrote it like a letter too :) You are sooo beautiful and don't you ever forget it!
I love the way you write. Just sayin'. :)
Beautiful post Anna! I totally agree with you! A picture can tell a thousand words, but not always the right ones, the words we want to be shared and viewed by others. If only they could be x-rays ... :)
haha, I was about to press "like"!
