You Don't Have to Try // Music Monday


This past week, I have been listening to the Gypsy Heart: Side A album by Colbie Caillat like crazy. It's sort of like an EP, but instead it contains the first five song of her upcoming album, which comes out September 30th.

"Try" is the fourth track on Gypsy Heart, and it's a beautiful song about letting go of insecurity. The video starts off showing made-up and air-brushed women singing along to the song, and slowly they start to strip off the makeup, fake eyelashes, and digital enhancements. 

Let me be the first to admit that I struggle with self-image. What girl doesn't? But sometimes we have to believe things that are hard to believe... like believing that we were created beautiful. And I KNOW how hard it's to accept. I know. But it's the truth.

Be beautiful inside, in your hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit that is so precious to God.
1 Peter 3:4
