You Are All Beautiful Just As You Are

Even if her music isn’t your style, you’ve probably heard about Ke$ha at some point.   Last weekend, Kesha received an award from the Human Rights Campaign for her advocacy work with LGBT.  During her moving acceptance speech she talked about her teenage years, feeling like a “misfit”, and what she wants to tell the world.  She says “…we were bullied for being ourselves, shamed for being different and encouraged for hiding the things that make us unique.” 
It can be difficult to feel comfortable in your own skin when there are messages that tell you that only certain things are cool or beautiful.  We should remember that being unique is a wonderful thing!  There are certain things about all individuals that make them one-of-a-kind and that stuff is great!  Being able to accept others for who they truly are, standing up for what is right, that’s not always the easiest thing to do, but it is the right thing to do.  If you see something that isn’t right, do you try to help or do you tell yourself that it’s none of your business? If you notice that your friend is changing their appearance for their partner’s requests do you tell your friend you are concerned, or do you ignore it?
“My message today is don’t be afraid to speak up against any injustice you experience. Don’t let people scare or shame you into changing the things about you that make you unique.” 
You can watch Kesha’s acceptance speech below, but be prepared to hear her drop the F-word a couple times…
