You are so used to your features....
Every morning we begin our day the same way, waking up and looking in the mirror. We are so
accustomed to the way we are, only looking at our flaws and what we lack in. “Oh how I wish I was skinnier, stronger, taller, etc.” Wasting time on wishing, hoping to change our outward appearance to satisfy society and impress people that at the end of the day don’t even care.
But that’s what people don’t understand. The people that are valuable to us, don’t care what we look like, if we have the latest trends or how beautiful/handsome we look every day. They care about inner beauty. They care about the countless inside jokes, memories and laughs created when no one remembers what exactly you were wearing or how you were looking on that particular day.
We miss the importance of a smile or a laugh when spending so much time on our outward appearance. You strike up a conversation with a stranger by sharing a second glance back or a small smile. Not by what you are wearing or looking like. Always smile because you never know who could be falling in love with it.
At times, it seems so much easier to point out our flaws and things we could change about ourselves. No matter who we are or what stage of our lives we're in without meaning to, everyone does it. You do it, I do it, and the person sitting beside you probably does too sometimes.
It's easier because every day we have so many things thrown at us from social media that it's hard not to want to look like the photo-shopped celebrity or model that graces the magazine covers. Even though we know its photo-shopped we still want to achieve the toned stomach and small thighs she has. But if we take a step back, physical beauty isn't as captivating as the small things a person does, like laugh or blush when we compliment them.
Back to the point of us not noticing our own inner beauty.....it's crazy sometimes to believe that someone will fall in love with me.
When I look in the mirror, I see this geeky, shy girl that is at the awkward stage in life where her face and hair at times don't cooperate with her. I can go on and on about all the so called "flaws" and things I want to change about myself. But what I may want to change like my height for instance (I'm tiny - 5'5 to be exact) may be something that someone loves about me.
At the end of the day, we should embrace ourselves, just the way we are flaws and all. No one is going to love us if we don't love ourselves first!
