[color=teal]"Beauty" is something I've had several conflicts with. Sometimes I hated myself for not being a Britney or another "beautiful" person. I've even broken my mirror out of pure disgust for myself.
It's such an underrated thing, true beauty. People look for physical aspects, which, with my old thinking, made me despise myself even more. All of those well-endowed women are so lucky, I thought.
Lately, I've come to the realization that people [i]already tell me I'm beautiful.[/i] I simply ignored them because I didn't believe it myself. I took a long, hard look at the broken shards of my mirror. I found a piece that wasn't broken. I picked it up and looked at myself. I started looking at the good things that I have. I focused on the good.
Okay, so I am physically well-endowed. So what? Just because I didn't notice it, it doesn't mean that it isn't true. I've become level-headed enough to skimp on the "omgimsonotbutifal" routine, because it's simply not true.
This might sound cheesy, but I think that if more people were to focus on what they have, not what they don't, we'd have a lot more people walking with their heads up high.[/color]
