So this is one that I have been meaning to write for a while! …. My leg hair!!!
It actually is about 1.5 inches long right now, which is crazy! [Guille and I compared and I have more leg hair then him lol]. I wont lie to you; it’s been a struggle, especially with boys. I have found myself wearing longer pants when I know I will be around boys, or just not letting them look at my legs! Back home I didn’t shave my legs all the time so I would make sure I wore jeans because I hated when boys would see my legs hair and point it out. I have literally had to embrace it so much especially this month [being with my entire squad] because some of the boys on my squad are completely repulsed by it. Like one in particular actually gags every time he sees my legs ha! But it’s been really good for me to just not be ashamed of it and to not care what boys (and some of the girls) think. Sometimes it is very stressful, hard and it would just be easier to shave them but I know that’s not the answer. It’s the hard times that make you stronger, so its me being content with not needing men to give me attention and even for them to be grossed out by me! I am learning that I don’t need mens approval and I can be content with just God and I!
I can also relate this to how much easier it would be for me to go home and just give up on the race during the hard times. Trust me there have been many a day like that already, but that wouldn’t make me stronger. Taking the easy route is usually never the most rewarding in the end. I am mostly relating these two things together because I have been having a very difficult time lately and lots of thoughts of going home, and just so many issues going on over here. So I would like to ask you all to pray specifically for these thoughts of mine and for the struggles I’ve been having, I would appreciate it so very much.
