Perspectives: Beyonce Wanna-Be

I write to you from my dark and desolate apartment alone on a Saturday night.  Tonight isn’t any different from any other night. I’m currently at my wits end playing my Sade cd and I know I need help. I’ve been trying to figure out why I am single at 26 and I think the people around me are more concerned with sparing my feelings than helping me.

I have enclosed a photo of myself and I know I don’t currently look my best, but I’m a hell of a catch. I have BA in English from West Chester University; and I’ve maintained full time employment at a bank for 3 years. After a string of jumpoff situations, being used for my apartment, car, money and being abused by my last “boyfriend” I need a change. Help me help myself, upgrade me Gabby. 

Respectfully Yours,

Beyonce Wanna-Be

Thank you for taking the first step. As I look at your photo, it makes me wish for the days when Ricki Lake was the makeover queen.  I think the fastest way to aid in your betterment is to adjust your look head to toe. Getting rid of the wig, the discount gear, a trip to the dentist and facial will set you on the yellow brick road of enlightenment. 

Changing the outside is first step in your upgrade; you have to look within. People only do what we allow them to and you can’t blame anyone for your situation.  Taking steps to improve your mind and spirit will give a far better reward than fixing your body.  Not having self-worth allows you to be used by everyone.  Look into the past and emotions to discover why you allow this and fix it. Stop being an easy button and start saying no and mean it. Get a book of affirmations (check our the store) and stay saying them to yourself. Start writing down the things you see for yourself and your future. Create your ideal met and soon the dream will come true when you’re ready.
