This post is specifically to the beautiful young women reading my blog. Whether you're looking to become the future Miss Orem or just curious at what Miss Orem does. Tonight as I was lying in bed I had a strong urge to write you a message.
One thing I've learned as Miss Orem is that all women are beautiful in their own unique way. When I was 12 years old I was insecure and struggling to find my own personal beauty. I had braces, glasses, and poofy hair.... I felt like I belonged on the island of misfit toys! haha. I'm sure there are many girls who felt or still feel the way I did. How did I discover my beauty? It wasn't a specific moment, but it was a slow realization of my worth and value. I believe in a Divine creator who is a merciful and loving God, and I believe that this higher being loves me more than I can possibly imagine. I believe this to be true for all women. Once I realized the love that my Creator had for me, I discovered my beauty.
Every young woman is beautiful and full of light. Discover your own unique beauty by realizing your worth and value. To all of those young women who have never been told that they are beautiful: I'm telling you now that you ARE!! Don't ever let someone tell you otherwise.
At a recent event, I met a young woman who thought of herself as plain and awkward. When I told her she was beautiful, her eyes lit up and in that moment she was more stunning than any beauty queen I've ever seen. I will never forget that moment, and I hope that every girl in this world will be told that she is beautiful. Because it is the truth.
Love,
Bridget Kreis
