"I met someone I knew long ago, fell in love with her all over again. She's not perfect but it's not from lack of effort. I even now find her attractive from the outside and I never did before. She is...ME!"
I stumbled on to this quote long time back and saw it again in Veron's email signature. When I look at myself in the mirror I honestly admit I am not perfect but I love what I see on the mirror. I know I am not a head-turner but I am a "heart-turner." Beauty is not just skin-deep so they say and my standard of beauty is not the one espoused by media.The imperfections on my face compliment each part and as a whole it is a beauty to behold. ;)
I believe that before other people can appreciate your beauty, you should appreciate and love yourself first. You can't freely appreciate or love other people when you don't have enough of it for yourself. I know someone who doesn't like herself wholly. Every time she faces the mirror, I always hear negative comments. She is so sensitive about jokes of other people or when they start talking about her because she has not accepted her flaws. Wanted to talk to her about acceptance and appreciation of herself but she is not matured enough to take it and may even take it against me. An older friend said that you can assess a person's maturity when he/she is able to laugh at herself/himself.
