Love Is A Strange Thing

Victorian women and today's women have one key thing in common. They both worried/worry about their outer beauty. My question is why?

I can relate to Jane Eyre with her love for Mr. Rochester, but my love is for a guy my age who is taken. I assume Jane wonders why he doesn't love her back. Especially when he is liking another insanly attractive woman. Jane is probably thinking to herself, "Am I not pretty enough for him?" Or " I know I can't sing well, but I can play the paino well."

I can relate because I feel the same way about this guy. "Am I not pretty or good enough for him?" Or "What does she have that I don't?"

So why is media so fascinated by female beauty, true or real beauty comes from within ones self. Who cares if you don't live up to today's female beauty guides, oh wait the media and maybe popular classmates. But why should they care? If your happy with who you are then why should you change and lose yourself expression just because what you do is not in style.

A great song that describes this is "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews. The lyrics are below.

If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'Cause nothin' changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm am steady and unstable
I am young but I'm able

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
