spelling it out: why I love Stacy London

I love Stacy London.
I love her because she has helped me believe in who I am.

I have always believed in my abilities, but I have never believed in my personality, if you know what I mean.
I always knew I was capable of succeeding, but didn't always realize my self-worth.
This is what Stacy has helped me to change.

Stacy London is a wonderful person, and so beautiful inside and out.
But she is a REAL person.
She is down to earth despite her fame, and despite the fact that so many people look to her for advice, and even consider her like an older sister, a role model, or a friend...though they have never even met.
She identifies with us, the regular people.
She is open and honest and is not afraid to tell the truth, because really, people NEED to hear the truth in all circumstances, not just style.

Stacy is one of the most giving, sweet and supportive people I have ever come across.
She makes time to respond to endless tweets, and uses her life to help others, like me, feel better about themselves.

Because of Stacy London, I like who I am.
I am no longer obsessive over my wide nose, fat thighs, ghetto booty (if you will) or any of those other "flaws." I am okay with my body. It doesn't matter the number on the tag. I was not molded by a cookie cutter... I am a person- I am unique. And thanks to Ms. London, I can embrace that. :)
Because of Stacy London, I no longer hate my birthday.
I have hated my birthday since the year I turned 13... I was never really sure why, but I think now it was because I didn't like the attention it brought. I didn't want people to make a fuss over me, because I didn't believe I was worth it.
Now, I am happy about my birthday. I am very excited that tomorrow, people will wish me happy birthday via facebook, and that I will get to hang out with amazing friends and have cupcakes and lattes.
I am embracing who I am and where I am in my life, and that is something I have never been able to do this easily.

When I met Stacy on Sunday, I told her she had changed my life.
And she really has.
When I got back from NYC Monday morning, I was completely overwhelmed with school work, preparation for the week of rehearsals, events, crazy college-ness... everything. But I was happy with ME. I sat there at in my room, took things one by one, and thought to myself, "I could not be happier."
Because of Stacy London, I am happy with who I am.
And I know that I am worth friendship and love.
And I am not limited by what others might think.
And I am more open with my personality among others.
And I realize that I am a person worth knowing.

Thank you Stacy.
You really have changed my life.
And I hope you realize how much I appreciate all you have done for me.

You are a truly incredible person, and meeting you was a moment I will never forget, and will treasure for the rest of my life.

You are someone I aspire to be more like.
You inspire me.
I really cannot explain properly how much you have helped me, but I just wanted to say thank you.

It means more than you know.
